Objective: Sufficient sleep is essential for well-being. We examined the relationship between work-related social support, work stress, and sleep sufficiency, predicting that workers with higher social support would report higher sleep sufficiency across varying levels of work stress.
Methods: The data set analyzed in the present study included 2213 workers from approximately 200 small (<500 employees) businesses in high, medium, and low hazard industries across Colorado.
Results: Perceived social support variables moderated the relationship between work stress and sleep sufficiency such that employees reporting higher levels of social support reported higher sleep sufficiency when work stress was low or moderate but not high.
Conclusions: Although preventing work stress is optimal, in cases where employers cannot apply primary interventions to prevent stress (eg, eliminating/reducing night shifts), employers should attempt to increase social support or other more relevant resources for employees.

Aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive upper airway collapse during sleep, resulting in frequent cortical arousals. However, currently used frequency-based arousal metrics do not sufficiently capture the heterogeneity and clinical significance of arousal responses. The odds ratio product (ORP) is a novel electroencephalographic marker that provides a continuous assessment of sleep depth and has the potential to serve as an objective measure of arousal intensity.

Background: Perinatal depression has been linked to higher negative affectivity (NA) in children, though the strength of this association is variable. Infant sleep, a known protective factor, may moderate this relationship though this has not been tested.
Objective: To examine whether within-person changes in depressive symptoms across pregnancy and postpartum were linked to child NA, and whether infant sleep duration moderated these effects.

Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD), a disease of the gastroduodenal tract, is one of the functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) characterized by postprandial fullness and epigastric pain not attributed to any underlying organic diseases. Sleep quality refers to individuals' satisfaction with their overall sleep, including sleep initiation, maintenance, duration, and feeling refreshed upon waking. Despite frequent associations between sleep disorders and FGID, comprehensive data on poor sleep quality (PSQ) in FD patients is lacking.
