The role of body position during sleep, particularly the supine position, is now recognized as an important factor in the development of sleep-disordered breathing such as snoring, apnea, and hypopnea. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the efficacy...
Sleep is a fundamental biological process essential for physical, cognitive, and mental health, yet sleep disorders remain underrecognized in primary care. Given the central role of primary care physicians (PCPs) in early identification and managemen...
Background/Objectives: There are limited data on the dynamic changes in daily composition of movement behaviors (sleep; moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, MVPA; light physical activity, LPA; and sedentary time, SED) and their associations with b...
Sleep disorders and primary headache syndromes frequently coexist, and accumulating evidence suggests that this relationship is bidirectional and biologically mediated rather than coincidental. Patients with migraine, tension-type headache, and clust...

The circadian clock enables organisms to anticipate daily recurring events and synchronize their internal rhythms with environmental cues, such as light, aligning with the day/night cycle. Central to the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock an...
Sleep banking, i.e., preemptively obtaining extra sleep prior to anticipated sleep loss, has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the cognitive and physiological consequences of sleep deprivation. However, our understanding remains incomplete regard...
Sleep and circadian research in real-life environments is challenging but essential. This study presents the design and implementation of a data-collection protocol in a highly challenging real-life setting over 56 days, examining both researchers&rs...
Light exposure profoundly influences human emotions and physiology. Yet, adolescents spend considerable time under artificial indoor lighting. Reduced daytime light exposure delays the circadian clock, negatively affecting sleep, cognition, and mood....
Insomnia symptoms are very common among psychiatric inpatients and can increase the risk of suicide in this population. However, little is known about how psychiatrists and nurses manage insomnia symptoms in psychiatric inpatients. This study aimed t...
We investigated the effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) on blood pressure (BP) and vigilance in taxi drivers with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This pilot study recruited taxi drivers aged ≥60 years to undergo polysomnography. T...
Background. Exposure to artificial light at night can lead to circadian disruption and health risks. It can cause mood swings, confusion, and depression. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between the illuminance of...
It is my pleasure to present this collection of abstracts from the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Light, Rhythms, and Circadian Health (SLRCH), held in Boston, Massachusetts, at Simmons University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital [...]
Late-night feeding, defined in the present review as feeding after 8:00 pm when evening insulin secretion and sensitivity are low, is increasingly prevalent in Western society and is recognized as a disruptor of metabolic homeostasis. Yet health prob...
