Lavender improves sleep through olfactory perception and Gabaergic neurons of the central amygdala
The use of lavender as sleep aid or hypnotic agent can be traced back as early as ancient Romans and Greeks. Yet, objective experimental data on whether and how lavender enhances sleep duration or/and sleep quality remain lacking. We aimed to characterize the sleep-wake regulating effects of lavender in the mouse and to demonstrate the brain targets and neural circuits involved. A self-made precise odor delivery system combined with chronic polys…
Subjective well-being mediates the longitudinal effect of insomnia symptoms on internalizing symptoms in community-dwelling older adults
This study demonstrates that insomnia symptoms exert a longitudinal influence on subsequent internalizing symptoms, but not the opposite, and subjective well-being operates as a mediating variable. Subjective well-being is identified as a modifiable factor that could be strategically targeted to alleviate the adverse effects of insomnia symptoms on internalizing symptoms in older adults
Assessing psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Sleep Quality Questionnaire among healthcare students
Good measurement properties suggest that the SQQ is a promising and practical measurement instrument for assessing sleep quality of Chinese healthcare students
Assessment of psychometric performance for the Chinese version of the Brief Inventory of Perceived Stress integrating exploratory graph analysis and confirmatory factor analysis
Sleep quality and subjective well-being in healthcare students
Objective: Sleep issues, negative emotions, and health conditions are commonly co-occurring, whereas their associations among healthcare students have yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to examine whether anxiety and depression mediate the relationship between sleep quality and subjective well-being in healthcare students. Methods: = 348). A battery of paper-and-pencil questionnaires-the Sleep Quality Questionnaire (SQQ), World Health Organiz…
The RU_Sated as a measure of sleep health
The RU_SATED-C scale is an easy-to-use instrument with potentially valid data for the measurement of multidimensional sleep health. Use of the RU_SATED-C scale can help raise awareness of sleep health and could pave the way for important efforts to promote healthy sleep
Sleep Respiratory Disturbances in Girls with Rett Syndrome
Individuals with Rett Syndrome (RTT), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, present disordered breathing during wakefulness. Whilst findings on breathing during sleep are contradictory, the relation between sleep breathing and their clinical features, genetic characteristics, age, and sleep phase is rarely investigated, which is the objective of this study. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) was performed. Sleep macrostructure parameters were compared…
The Role of Mindfulness in Mitigating the Detrimental Effects of Harsh Parenting among Chinese Adolescents
Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study aimed to investigate the mediating role of depressive symptoms and the moderating role of mindfulness in the association between harsh parenting and adolescent suicidal ideation in the Chinese cultural context. Using a three-wave (i.e., three months apart) data collection among 371 Chinese adolescents, this study found that depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between harsh parent…
Combined effects of weight change trajectories and eating behaviors on childhood adiposity status
Psychometric Properties and Predictive Value of a Screening Questionnaire for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Young Children With Down Syndrome
A well designed questionnaire with good psychometric properties had limited predictive value to screen for moderate to severe OSA in young children with DS. The use of a screening questionnaire is not recommended. Screening for OSA in this population requires objective sleep study measures
