Different components of excessive daytime sleepiness and the change with positive airway pressure treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: Results from the Icelandic Sleep Apnea Cohort (ISAC)

Elin H. Thorarinsdottir et al.

Summary: This study examined daytime sleepiness in adults with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea before and after 2 years of positive airway pressure treatment. Participants were categorized into different sleepiness phenotypes and it was found that patients at risk of dozing showed greater benefits from PAP treatment. Persistent sleepiness was observed in a significant portion of PAP users, suggesting the need for ongoing evaluation and attention for this subgroup.

Self-reported daytime napping, daytime sleepiness, and other sleep phenotypes in the development of cardiometabolic diseases: a Mendelian randomization study

Yiming Jia et al.

Summary: This study used two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses to assess the causal associations between self-reported sleep phenotypes and cardiometabolic diseases. The results showed that self-reported daytime napping, insomnia, and short sleep duration had causal roles in the development of cardiometabolic diseases, while self-reported daytime sleepiness and being a morning person were potential risk factors.

COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Sleep and Mental Health Disparities among Students at a Hispanic and Minority-Serving Institution

Monideepa B. Becerra et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sleep health characteristics of college students and its relation to mental health, physical health, and academic performance. The findings showed that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the sleep quality of college students, with sleeping less than seven hours being associated with daytime tiredness, psychological distress, as well as poor mental and physical health. Additionally, severe markers for obstructive sleep apnea, such as stopped breathing during sleep, were also associated with psychological distress during the pandemic. Therefore, sleep health interventions are crucial in improving the overall well-being of college students.

The physical and mental health of the medical staff in Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital during COVID-19 epidemic: A Structural Equation Modeling approach

Jinyao Wang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that during the COVID-19 epidemic, the physical and mental health of frontline medical staff were significantly affected. Medical staff in intensive care and non-intensive care units showed differences in fatigue, resilience, and anxiety. Factors like gender, duration of work, perceived stress level, and health status influenced fatigue scores and health perceptions among participants. Resilience was found to be negatively associated with fatigue and anxiety, while fatigue had a direct impact on physical burden. Fatigue also mediated the relationship between resilience and anxiety, as well as resilience and physical burden.

COVID-19 Pandemic Prevalence and Risk Factors for Depression Among Health Care Workers in South Asia

Rabeeya Saeed et al.

Summary: Depression among healthcare workers in South Asian countries is alarmingly high, with factors such as gender, fear of not being protected, confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the workplace and family being significant predictors. This could jeopardize attention to other non-COVID health issues in developing countries.

Relationships Between Sleep Problems and Stress Coping Strategies Adopted by Nurses Including Socio-Occupational Factors

Krystyna Kowalczuk et al.

Summary: This study found that the most frequently used coping strategies among nurses were active strategies (active coping, planning), while the least-used were avoidant strategies (behavioral disengagement, substance use). Excessive sleepiness affected 38% of the surveyed nurses, with insomnia affecting 33%. Nurses with higher education levels were less likely to use humor, behavioral disengagement, substance use, and religion as coping strategies for sleep problems.
