New Method for Diagnosing Sleep Disorders in Children
Research conducted at the University of Oklahoma in collaboration with the University of Tulsa has led to a new method for investigating sleep disorders in children. The tool, the first of its kind, enables healthcare professionals to screen children for multiple sleep problems simultaneously, resulting in faster assessment and more targeted treatment recommendations. The research […]
Why a Regular Sleep Pattern is Particularly Important for People Recovering from Heart Failure
People recovering from heart failure should consider improving their sleep regularity, according to a study by Oregon Health & Science University. The research team found that even moderately irregular sleep doubles the risk of another clinical event within six months. The results were published in the journal JACC Advances. A clinical event can be another […]
The Circadian Clock in Heart Failure
Disruption of the circadian rhythm, which naturally changes on a 24-hour cycle, has been linked to heart disease, but it is unclear how this leads to the condition. A research team at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions investigated the function of the protein Rev-erbα/β, a key component of the circadian clock, in the […]
Humans are Seasonal Creatures, in Accordance With their Circadian Rhythm
It may be tempting to believe that humanity, with its sophisticated lighting, has outgrown the natural influence of sunlight on its sleeping habits. However, new research from the University of Michigan shows that our circadian rhythm is still fundamentally untamable and follows the seasonal changes in daylight. Circadian Rhythms and Seasonal Changes “Humans are truly […]
