Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) includes a clinical phenotype resembling narcolepsy (with repeated, short restorative naps), and a phenotype with an excess of sleep, sleep drunkenness, drowsiness, and infrequent long, nonrestorative naps....


Conclusions: Possible mechanisms of IH include deficiencies in arousal systems, inappropriate stimulation of sleep-inducing systems, and long biological night. Treatments now include robust studies of modafinil, clarithromycin, and sodium oxybate.

A Comprehensive Review of Daridorexant, a Dual-Orexin Receptor Antagonist as New Approach for the Treatment of Insomnia - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36144776/

Insomnia affects 4.4-4.8% of the world's population, but because the effect of hypnotic drugs is limited and may cause harmful side-effects, scientists are turning their attention to developing drugs that...


Conclusion/Relevance: The use of daridorexant is considered safe, with no clinically significant side-effects including deprivation of next-morning residual effects. In this manuscript we conducted a comprehensive review of daridorexant including pharmacodynamics, animal and human research, pharmacokinetics and safety.

Use of digital screens by adolescents and association on sleep quality: a systematic review

Source : https://www.scielo.br/j/csp/a/Zv7rmV5TVmRGkGWyrxWm4qd/?lang=en

This study aimed to analyze the influence of digital screen use on adolescents' quality of sleep. This systematic review was recorded on PROSPERO (CRD42020203403) and conducted according to PRISMA guidelines....


Conclusion/Relevance: Excessive use of digital screens was associated with worse and shorter sleep, showing, as its main consequences, night awakenings, long sleep latency, and daytime sleepiness. The use of mobile phones before bedtime was associated with poor quality of sleep among adolescents. Our evaluation of the methodological quality of...
