Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the influence of heterogeneity on sleep-wake architecture in single-prolonged stress (SPS) animal model.
Methods: SPS rats were subdivided into low responders (LR) and high responders (HR) based on their freezing responses to a novel environment. Sleeping time (ST), awakening numbers (AN), brief awakening numbers (bAN) and frequency distribution of sleep bouts were used as observing indicators, single factor variance analysis combined with Dunnett t test were used to compare the differences between control, exposure, LR and HR groups.
Results: We found sleeping time was increased only in HR group. Moreover, awakening numbers and brief awakening number increased in exposure group and HR group during the light phase, but not in LR group. The number of sleep bouts for the ranges of 40-80s increased obviously in HR group, but not in exposure and LR group. In addition, there were significant correlation between sleep-related parameters and freezing in HR group, but not in LR group.
Conclusions: Heterogeneity existed in SPS model in view of different sleep-wake architectures of SPS rats. Rats in HR group exactly mimicked the freezing response and sleep disorders of PTSD. So HR rats were more appropriate to be used as PTSD-like models, especially when studying sleep disorder in PTSD.

Efficacy and Safety of Ramelteon in the Reduction of Delirium and Duration of ICU Stay: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Pharmacology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, IND.
Background Delirium and sleep disturbances are common in critically ill patients and are associated with adverse outcomes, including prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Ramelteon, a melatonin receptor agonist, may improve sleep and reduce delirium by regulating circadian rhythms. This study evaluated the efficacy of ramelteon in shortening ICU stay, decreasing delirium incidence and duration, and improving sleep quality in critically ill patients.

Introduction: Parental stress may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders in children, and lack of sleep may be at the root of the issue. The aim of our study was to assess the association between infant sleep and parental stress, as well as the influence of socioeconomic factors or co-sleeping.d MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study in children aged 2 years.

Background: Pediatric sleep disorders are underreported and underdiagnosed in primary care settings. This study aimed to compare the screening and management of sleep in young children during routine follow-up consultations by general practitioners (GPs) and physicians from Maternal and Child Protection services (MCPPs) in a region of France.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire with 20 closed questions designed to characterize knowledge and practices and to evaluate the perceived need for additional training in pediatric sleep.
Heavy Hitters, Light Sleepers: Collision Frequency and Locomotor Load on Sleep Architecture in Professional Rugby Union Players.

To assess whether certain players are more vulnerable to postmatch sleep disturbances by examining the relationship between match demands-collision frequency and locomotor load-and sleep in professional male rugby union players. A linear mixed-effects regression examined the relationship between match variables and sleep in 13 rugby players across three matches. Match variables included six physical demand variables derived from video analysis and GPS data (collision frequency, total distance, high-speed distance, sprint distance, acceleration load and fast acceleration count) and two contextual variables (location and kick-off time).

Aim Of The Study: This study aims to assess the incidence and characteristics of sleep disorders in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Georgia. This research is particularly relevant because ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and one of its most challenging issues is sleep disorders. In Georgia, the number of children and adolescents with ASD has increased significantly over the past two decades, yet sleep disorders among this population have not been studied at all to date.
