Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: To systematically review the available research studies that characterize the benefits, uncertainty, or weaknesses of commercially-available sleep tracking technology.
Recent Findings: Sleep is a vital component of health and well-being. Research shows that tracking sleep using commercially available sleep tracking technology (e.g., wearable or smartphone-based) is increasingly popular in the general population.
Methods: Systematic literature searches were conducted using PubMed/Medline, Embase (Ovid) the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL, and Web of Science Plus (which included results from Biosis Citation Index, INSPEC, and Food, Science & Technology Abstracts) (n=842).
Study Inclusion And Exclusion Criteria: Three independent reviewers reviewed eligible articles that administered a commercially-available sleep tracker to participants and reported on sleep parameters as captured by the tracker, including either sleep duration or quality. Eligible articles had to include sleep data from users for >=4 nights.

Inter-ictal spike rates are not modulated by anti-seizure medication taper in the epilepsy monitoring unit: a tale of two confounders.

New implantable and wearable devices hold great promise to help patients manage their seizure disorders. One proposed application is measuring the rate of interictal epileptiform discharges as a biomarker of medication levels and seizure risk. This study aims to determine whether interictal epileptiform spike rates (spikes) are independently associated with anti-seizure medication (ASM) levels and evaluate whether spike rates are a reliable biomarker for ASM levels.

Sickness-induced sleep is a behavior conserved across species that promotes recovery from illness, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine signaling from the gut to brain glial cells regulates sleep. Under healthy conditions, this pathway promotes wakefulness.

Consistent sleep patterns are associated with better cardiovascular health, while sleep loss is known to impair vascular function. This study examined whether consistent sleep could improve vascular function and mitigate the negative effect of 25-hour total sleep deprivation. Sixteen healthy adults (10 females, 6 males; 34 ± 9 years; BMI: 25 ± 3 kg/m²) completed a randomized crossover study involving two 12-night sleep conditions, habitual sleep and a consistent sleep/wake schedule that were separated by a 1-2-week washout.

This study examined gender-specific factors affecting multiple chronic disease burdens in Chinese adults over 45 years. This study was a prospective cohort study based on the China Health and Retirement Tracking Survey (CHARLS). A total of 6509 middle-aged and elderly people aged ≥ 45 years with 14 types of chronic diseases were included.

In-person sleep education interventions for college students have shown mixed effects on improving sleep behaviors. Online medium of delivery may intervene where in-person-only interventions are lacking.
