Insomnia is a significant public health problem, but there little information on its natural history.To assess the incidence, persistence, and remission rates of insomnia over 5-year naturalistic follow-up period.This cohort study included participants with without sleep problems selected from adult population in Canada August 2007 to June 2014. Participants completed an annual survey about their status for 5 consecutive years.Using validated algorithms, were classified at each assessment as...
Socioeconomic position (SEP) is inversely associated with many health outcomes, yielding a socioeconomic gradient in health. In adults, low SEP short sleep duration, poorer quality, and difficulty initiating maintaining sleep. Relatively little known about this relation youth. The aim of the present study was to examine whether gradients exist for various indices among healthy sample children adolescents.Participants took part larger Healthy Heart Project included 239 youth (69.6% Caucasian;...
Summary Individuals who are more prone to experience situational insomnia under stressful conditions may also be at greater risk develop subsequent insomnia. While cross‐sectional data exist on the link between sleep reactivity (heightened vulnerability stress‐related insomnia) and insomnia, limited its predictive value. The aim of study was evaluate prospectively whether associated with increased incident persistent in a population‐based sample good sleepers. Social support coping styles...
Summary Two phenotypes have been proposed: insomnia with objective near‐normal sleep duration, related to increased psychological symptoms, and short associated cardiometabolic morbidity. Reduced heart rate variability has also implicated in the pathophysiology of disease; however, there are little data on whether cardiovascular function differs between patients duration duration. Participants ( M age = 49.9 ± 11.3 years; 62.8% female) were 180 adults chronic 15.7 13.6). Objective was based...
To document the monthly changes in sleep/insomnia status over a 12-month period; to determine optimal time intervals reliably capture new incident cases and recurrent episodes of insomnia likelihood its persistence time.Participants were 100 adults (mean age = 49.9 years; 66% women) randomly selected from larger population-based sample enrolled longitudinal study natural history insomnia. They completed 12 telephone interviews assessing insomnia, use sleep aids, stressful life events,...
Socioeconomic gradients exist for multiple health outcomes. Lower objective socioeconomic position (SEP), whether measured by income, education, or occupation, is associated with inadequate sleep. Less known about one's perceived ranking of their social status, subjective SEP, affects This study examined a gradient exists sleep while controlling SEP. Participants (N = 177; age, M 45.3 years, SD 6.3 years) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, MacArthur...
The Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST) is a self-report tool that measures sleep reactivity (i.e., vulnerability experience situational insomnia under stressful conditions). Sleep has been termed "trait-like" vulnerability; however, evidence of its long-term stability lacking. main objective the current psychometric study was investigate temporal FIRST over two 6-mo intervals in population-based sample adults with and without insomnia. also compared other scales associated...
Insomnia and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) increase the risk of cardiovascular disease its precursors; thus, it is important to evaluate whether treatment for insomnia provides safeguards. The present study aimed potential benefits cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I).The included 65 patients treated chronic (M = 51.8 years, SD 10.0; 66.2% female) at a university hospital. Patients received CBT-I over 6-week period, change scores from pre- posttreatment derived Severity Index, sleep...
Pets are often thought to be detrimental sleep. Up 75% of households with children have a pet, and 30-50% adults regularly share their bed pets. Despite these high rates, few studies examined the effect pet-human co-sleeping on pediatric This study compared subjective objective sleep in youth who never, sometimes, or frequently co-slept Children (N = 188; aged 11-17 years; M 13.25 years) parents answered standardized questionnaires assessing timing, duration, onset latency, awakenings,...
There is little information about familial aggregation of insomnia; however, this type important to (1) improve our understanding insomnia risk factors and (2) design more effective treatment prevention programs. This study aimed investigate evidence among first-degree relatives probands with without insomnia.Cases (n = 134) controls 145) enrolled in a larger epidemiological were solicited invite their spouses complete standardized sleep/insomnia survey. In total, 371 (Mage 51.9 years, SD...
