Discrimination disrupts sleep and contributes to race-based health inequities for Black Americans, but less is known about the psychological mechanisms underlying this relation. The current work tests whether emotion invalidation, termed Social Pain Minimization (SPM), mediates discrimination's negative effects on sleep quality. We focus on the experiences of Black Americans because of racism's disproportionate effect on the health outcomes of Black individuals in the U.S.

We investigated the relationship between irregular sleep-wake patterns and other aspects of sleep and mental health among adolescents.

Bedtime procrastination has been identified as an important factor associated with insufficient sleep and health and well-being problems. This study aims to investigate factor structure and psychometric properties of Bedtime procrastination Scale (BPS) in the Persian-speaking community. Additionally, this research aims to examine the role of bedtime procrastination in predicting sleep-related problems.

This study aimed to investigate relationships between lucid dreaming and sleep and mental health outcomes within a representative sample of the general population. We also sought to examine how nightmares interact with the relationship between lucid dreaming, sleep, and mental health outcomes.

Sleep disorder is a growing public health concern that requires attentive assessment and treatment. However, the length of assessment tools for sleep disorders, including insomnia, hinders their use in both research and clinical settings. Brief assessment measures expedite assessment time, reducing respondent burden, and save resources, especially in resource-limited settings.

A preference for eveningness - one's perception of being most alert later in the day - is associated with negative developmental outcomes in adolescence. Sleep onset consistency is protective against such outcomes. Toward a more nuanced understanding of relations between sleep-wake processes and adolescent development, we examined weeknight sleep onset consistency as a moderator of relations between eveningness and multiple indicators of development.

This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting patient perceptions of sleep concerns and the need for treatment to understand and enable effective management.

In this meta-regression, we aimed to explore associations between changes in psychosocial factors and changes in sleep disturbance during mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). We also investigated participant-specific and methodological factors associated with sleep disturbance during MBIs.

Although cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective treatment for sleep disorders, little is known about the role of hyperarousal (especially trait arousal) in CBT-I interventions. Therefore, this study investigated the role of trait arousal in the maintenance of sleep problems using cross-sectional and longitudinal methods.

Sleep and internalizing problems escalate during adolescence and can negatively impact long-term health. However, the directionality of this risk-relationship remains poorly understood within a developmental context. The current study aimed to determine the directionality of this relationship in adolescents with no history of psychiatric disorder and whether sex at birth played a role in this relationship.

Previous research suggests that insomnia and depressive symptoms might be causally related. Emotional reactivity and regulation have been proposed to explain the potential causal relationship between insomnia and depression. However, longitudinal evaluations of their mediating effects are limited. Hence, the current study aimed to examine the mediating effects of emotional reactivity and regulation on the longitudinal associations between daily sleep parameters and depressive symptoms over 14 days in individuals with insomnia.

Athletes display a high prevalence of undesired sleep characteristics that may affect both performance and wellbeing.

The management of HIV has shifted from a focus solely on the disease to a broader perspective encompassing co-occurring medical conditions and quality of life. Mental health concerns such as depression and sleep disturbances, particularly insomnia, are often overlooked in HIV care. The aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal impact of insomnia on depression and medication adherence among (PLWH).

Approximately 70% of the military personnel experience chronic sleep insufficiency, which negatively impacts military readiness and health. Military sleep health does not appear to be improving despite targeted programs to optimize sleep. The present quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate a single-session sleep intervention in United States Air Force (USAF) Technical Training.

Nightmares affect up to 12% of the population and are often comorbid with psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression. Limited research has examined their influence on nightmare frequency. This study investigates the relationship between depression and trait-anxiety symptoms on incident nightmare frequency at follow-up.

Technology has the potential to increase access to evidence-based insomnia treatment. Patient preferences/perceptions of automated digital cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and telehealth-delivered CBTI remain largely unexplored among middle-aged and older adults. Using a qualitative approach, the current study describes patients' reasons for participating in the clinical trial, preferences for digital CBTI (dCBTI) versus therapist-led CBTI, patient attitudes toward dCBTI, and patient attitudes toward telehealth-delivered therapist-led CBTI.

Study objectives were to: 1) iteratively adapt the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TranS-C) for patients in cardiac rehabilitation (CR; Phase 1) and 2) conduct a preliminary single group pre-post intervention test to a) evaluate procedural feasibility and intervention acceptability and b) to explore preliminary pre-post changes in self-reported sleep, disability, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL; Phase 2).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) is a first-line treatment for a prevalent and impairing disorder. Digital CBTi programs increase access to internet-based self-directed care. However, the clinical effect of offering different forms of CBTi in a healthcare setting is not clearly understood. This study examines treatment engagement and clinical outcomes for individuals referred to either digital or provider-led CBTi.

Insomnia and chronic pain are common symptoms in people with HIV. Poor sleep has been associated with chronic pain. While cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia improves insomnia in clinical populations, there are barriers to people with HIV accessing treatment including the lack of trained providers and lengthy sessions. Only one study has examined the efficacy of brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) in people with HIV. This study examined BBTI effects on sleep and pain in people with HIV.

This study aims to explore the perspectives and experiences of Australian caregivers and community pharmacists about pediatric melatonin use.
