Patients/methods: This phase 3 randomized study comprised two 6-month treatment periods. In Period 1, 949 subjects were randomized to placebo, lemborexant 5 mg (LEM5) or 10 mg (LEM10). In Period 2, placebo subjects were rerandomized to LEM5 or LEM10; subjects initially randomized to lemborexant continued their assigned treatment. Insomnia severity was assessed using baseline ISI and 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month post-treatment scores. Results: Mean ISI scores improved significantly across treatment groups and disease severities, with greater decreases from baseline in the LEM5 and LEM10 versus placebo groups at months 1 (?7.1, ?7.2, ?5.2, respectively), 3 (?8.6, ?8.9, ?6.1, respectively), and 6 (?9.9, ?9.8, ?7.2 respectively); ISI score improvements were maintained with LEM5 and LEM10 at months 9 (?11.1 and ?11.2, respectively) and 12 (?11.5 and ?11.2, respectively). At months 1, 3, and 6, significantly more treatment responders (≥7-point ISI score decrease from baseline) were observed with LEM5 (44%–57%) and LEM10 (44%–52%) versus placebo (30%–41%). At months 1, 3, and 6, more remitters (ISI total score <10 and < 8) were observed with LEM5 (30%–44% and 22%–34%, respectively) and LEM10 (31%–41% and 22%–31%, respectively) versus placebo (18%–28% and 11%–21%, respectively). Conclusions: Lemborexant significantly reduced insomnia severity for 12 months and increased clinically meaningful response and remission rates versus placebo.

Both OSA and PD have been associated with inflammation. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in cognitive function. We aimed to investigate inflammatory cytokines and BDNF in relation to OSA and PD symptoms. Methods: In a prospective observational study, patients with PD underwent overnight polysomnography. Morning serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNFα, and BDNF were quantified at baseline (n = 64) and 6 months (n = 38). Outcomes included non-motor and motor standard scores; Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA); and Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS). Associations were assessed using linear regression, adjusting for age, sex and body mass index. Results: At baseline, IL-6 was associated with the Apnea–Hypopnea Index (β = 0.013, p = 0.03), and the Oxygen Desaturation Index (β = 0.028, p = 0.002). No other associations between cytokines and sleep parameters were found. Motor dysfunction was associated with IL-6 (β = 0.03, p = 0.001). ESS was associated non-significantly with IL-6 (β = 0.04, p = 0.07) and BDNF (β = 555, p = 0.06). At follow-up, change in IL-6 was associated with change in non-motor (β = 0.08, p = 0.007), and motor (β = 0.03, p = 0.001) symptoms. Change in BDNF was associated with change in ESS (β = 1450, p = 0.02). Interpretation: We found an association between IL-6 levels and both OSA severity and PD motor dysfunction. At follow-up, increasing IL-6 correlated with deterioration of motor and non-motor PD symptoms. Increasing BDNF correlated with increasing sleepiness. Further work with a larger sample size is needed, but our results support the hypothesis that OSA-related inflammation plays a role in PD manifestations and progression.

A growing body of work is exploring HRV under sleeping conditions. Most of this literature utilizes either averaged HRV indices calculated from multiple sleep stage epochs, or averaged HRV throughout the night. Both approaches implicitly assume that HRV within sleep epoch types is consistent throughout the night. Given the robust literature indicating the existence of an endogenous cardiovascular circadian rhythm as well as the potential for effects for cumulative time asleep, we hypothesized that HRV would vary across distinct sleep epochs. Methods: Participants underwent at least one night of home polysomnography that included electroencephalogram, electromyogram, and electrocardiogram (N = 73). All rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM stage 2 (N2) sleep epochs with a duration greater than or equal to 5 min were identified for HRV analysis. Time and frequency domain indices of HRV were calculated for each sleep stage epoch. Linear mixed models were used to examine main effects of time on HRV indices for N2 and REM sleeps epochs respectively. Results: Main effects of time were observed for all models. Patterns emerged for both the N2 and REM epochs, suggesting HRV indices are non-stationary (ie variable) across distinct sleep epochs through the course of the night. Conclusions: The present findings indicate HRV is non-stationary across sleep stage epochs. Aggregating HRV indices across sleep stage epochs likely obscures important transient effects and increases risk of type-I and type-II errors.

We carried out dose–response meta-analysis to quantify their dose–response relationships. Methods: We systematically searched and extracted data from prospective cohort studies regarding sleep duration and stroke published on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wangfang Data until October 20, 2020. We used Stata version 15.0 for meta-analysis and dose–response meta-analysis. Results: A total of 20 articles including 27 reports were included. There had fifteen and 12 reports concerning sleep duration and stroke incidence and stroke mortality respectively. Meta-analysis showed that short sleep was linked to an increased risk of stroke incidence and stroke mortality (RR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.19–1.49 and RR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.16–1.62 respectively). Long sleep was also associated with an increased risk of stroke incidence and stroke-related death (RR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.50–1.95 and RR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.87–3.09, respectively). Dose–response meta-analysis demonstrated that U-shaped relationship was observed between sleep duration and risk of all outcomes. Sleep duration presented a nonlinear relationship with stroke incidence, stroke mortality, ischemic stroke, female stroke and male stroke. Prolonged sleep was associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and male stroke. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that both short and long sleep duration was linked to a higher risk of stroke incidence and stroke mortality. Extended sleep duration was more associated with adverse outcomes compared with short sleep duration. Inappropriate sleep duration correlated more with ischemic stroke and an increased risk of stroke in females.
