Podcasts about sleep research

Sign up for our weekly newsletter here! Are we missing an essential ingredient for creativity in education—like sleep? In the Season 10 finale of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett hand over the mic to their resident scholar, Jimmy Wilson, for an in-depth reflection on the standout moments and innovative insights from an eclectic season. Jimmy draws connections between classroom creativity and essential factors we often overlook, like the power of sleep and the importance of understanding our own creative process. The discussion dives into research showing how just a few minutes of rest can double or even triple creative problem-solving, and why productive struggle—not just instant success—is critical for growth. The hosts and Jimmy also grapple with how students can find their purpose in an AI-driven world, and why fostering community and authentic connections in the classroom are more important than ever. With highlights from luminaries like Teresa Amabile, Leo Bird, and Robert Sternberg, this episode asks educators to reconsider not only the tools they give students, but also the passion and purpose fueling the next generation. Noteworthy Mentions The Role of Sleep: Research cited showed that brief periods of sleep or even twilight rest significantly improve creative problem-solving. Metacognition in the Classroom: Guests discussed the growing importance of helping students understand their own learning and thinking processes, especially amid the rise of AI. Feedback & Incremental Growth: Celebrating small wins and providing clear, iterative feedback is more motivating than focusing solely on the end product. Purpose and Passion: Transformational creativity comes from students connecting their work to a bigger purpose—benefiting themselves and their communities. Productive Struggle: Perseverance and learning from failure are reframed as keys to creative development. Authentic Audience: The impact of students seeing their work valued in the real world proves to be a major motivator.

Neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer is an expert on sleep – or, more accurately, an expert on why so many can't sleep. He notes that, ironically, it's often anxiety about sleep that prevents good sleep. In short, we lose sleep over lost sleep. Wearables and other tools can help but only to a point, and medications do not induce natural sleep. Instead, he counsels consistent routines, less stimulation at bedtime, and cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce worry about insomnia. Unfortunately, you can't work harder to get better sleep – you have to learn to relax, Zeitzer tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Uno studio internazionale, pubblicato sul Journal of Sleep Research, ha indagato quanto spesso ricordiamo sogni e incubi in 16 paesi del mondo, confrontando i dati prima e dopo la pandemia. Più di una persona su due riferisce ricordi frequenti di sogni, e il fenomeno sembra influenzato dall’età, dal genere e soprattutto dalla qualità del sonno. A Obiettivo Salute il commento del prof. Luigi De Gennaro, Professore Ordinario di Psicobiologia e Psicologia Fisiologica alla Sapienza di Roma, coautore dello studio.

New research from the Journal of Sleep Research has revealed that people who sleep with multiple pillows are more likely to have higher anxiety, feel restless at night, and wake up exhausted. Turns out, stacking your bed with cushions could be a subconscious cry for comfort, control... or just a really good cuddle.

Le test de la cuillère, mis au point par le Dr Nathaniel Kleitman, physiologiste et pionnier de la recherche sur le sommeil, est une méthode simple pour évaluer son niveau de somnolence et détecter un éventuel manque de sommeil chronique.Principe du testL'idée de Kleitman repose sur la capacité d'un individu à s'endormir rapidement lorsque les conditions sont propices au repos. Pour réaliser le test, il faut suivre ces étapes :1. Se placer dans une pièce sombre et calme, en début d'après-midi (moment où la vigilance baisse naturellement).2. S'allonger sur un lit ou un canapé, en tenant une cuillère en métal dans la main, placée au bord du lit.3. Placer une assiette en métal au sol, juste en dessous de la main qui tient la cuillère.4. Regarder l'heure, puis fermer les yeux et essayer de s'endormir.5. Lorsque le sommeil survient, les muscles se relâchent, la cuillère tombe et fait du bruit en heurtant l'assiette.6. Se réveiller immédiatement et noter l'heure pour calculer le temps mis à s'endormir.Interprétation des résultatsKleitman considérait que le temps mis à sombrer dans le sommeil révélait le niveau de dette de sommeil d'un individu. Voici comment interpréter les résultats :- Si vous vous endormez en moins de 5 minutes : vous êtes en privation sévère de sommeil et souffrez probablement d'un déficit chronique.- Si vous vous endormez entre 5 et 10 minutes : vous avez un certain manque de sommeil, mais il est encore modéré.- Si vous mettez plus de 15 minutes : votre niveau de vigilance est normal et vous ne souffrez pas d'un déficit majeur.Validité scientifique du testBien que ce test soit une manière empirique de mesurer la somnolence diurne, il n'est pas un outil de diagnostic formel. Toutefois, plusieurs études, dont celles publiées dans le Journal of Sleep Research, confirment que la rapidité d'endormissement est un bon indicateur d'un manque de sommeil chronique.ConclusionLe test de la cuillère du Dr Kleitman est une technique simple pour évaluer son niveau de fatigue. Si vous vous endormez en moins de 5 minutes, il est peut-être temps de revoir vos habitudes de sommeil et d'accorder plus d'importance à votre récupération nocturne. Hébergé par Acast.

Join us on Wednesday, December 4 @ 6pm EST for an exciting conversation with professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, Elizabeth Klerman to discuss her research on the impact of humans being awake after midnight. Dr. Klerman's research focuses on applying circadian and sleep research principles to human physiology and pathophysiology. She also uses mathematical analysis and modeling to study human circadian, sleep, and objective neurobehavioral performance and subjective (self-reported) mood and alertness rhythms.

There's no time like this time for Standard TimeIn most of Canada and the US, our clocks are “falling back” an hour as we switch to Standard time for the winter and as usual we're hearing mutterings about abandoning the time change.. Chronobiologists like Malcolm von Schantz, who study our internal circadian rhythms, are saying that if we do ditch the practice, we should revert to standard time instead of having permanent daylight time, because morning light is very important to regulating our circadian rhythms, as is having darkness in the evening time. Von Schantz recently co-authored a letter with the British Sleep Society, published in the Journal of Sleep Research, calling for the UK government to end to the practice.Sorry beavers and Polar bears – the unique Canadian animals are not what you thinkBiologists have investigated which animals, by range and evolutionary history, are most unique in Canada as part of an attempt to get a more accurate picture of Canadian biodiversity. The research, led by Arne Mooers from Simon Fraser University, highlights animals such as the mudpuppy, the osprey, the virginia opossum, and the two-tailed frog. At the top of the list is the spiny softshell turtle, which branched away from its family tree 180 million years ago. The research was published in the journal The Canadian Field-Naturalist. A corpse in a well makes a macabre myth realA story recorded in a 12th century Norse saga of a violent attack on a castle has been validated with the discovery and identification of human remains. The story goes that the invaders dropped a dead man into the castle well in order to poison its water supply before departing. That man's remains have now been found. Dr. Anna Petersén, an archeologist at the Norwegian Institute of Cultural Heritage Research, worked with a team to identify and date the remains of this 800 year old skeleton. Their study, published in the journal iScience, revealed he was between 30 - 40 years old, and had blonde hair and blue eyes.A wide range of animals take a tippleIndulgence in alcohol is seen as a largely human vice, but biologists have collected evidence that a much wider range of animals from insects to apes will seek out ethanol, often in fermented fruit, and will, on occasion, overindulge. Dr. Matthew Carrigan, an associate professor of biology at the College of Central Florida says that some birds that fly into windows have been found to have high levels of ethanol, and intoxicated fruit flies will make poor mating choices. The study was published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution.Tapping into science for a greater appreciation of artistic masterpiecesRecent studies of two of the world's most famous paintings by Dutch artists have provided surprising insights into the depths of their art. A new analysis of the entire sky in Vincent van Gogh's painting, The Starry Night, which includes 14 swirling eddies shows how the artist intuitively understood the nature of turbulence, an incredibly complex phenomenon of fluid dynamics. Francois Schmitt, an oceanographer and research director at France's National Centre for Scientific Research and his team published their research in the journal Physics of Fluids. To figure out what it was about Johannes Vermeer's painting, Girl with the Pearl Earring, that viewers find so captivating, the Mauritshuis museum where the artwork hangs in The Hague commissioned a neuroscientific study. Andries van der Leij, the research director of Neurensics — a consumer neuroscience company — and lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, said they found that people's eyes were automatically drawn to the girl's eyes, mouth and pearl earring in a way that drew them in for an emotional experience.

Do you find it difficult to get a good night's sleep? If you do, you are not alone. According to the US National Institutes of Health, between 6 and 30 per cent of adults suffer from insomnia or lack of restorative sleep. Since the establishment of sleep medicine a century ago, we have learnt a lot about the causes of sleeplessness. And yet, as the continuing development of new sleep aids demonstrates, its prevalence remains high. Persistent lack of sleep can have serious consequences for your health but despite this some writers, and other creative people, seem to welcome it. Franz Kafka famously claimed that if he couldn't pursue his stories through the night, they would "break away and disappear". Iszi Lawrence discusses our changing understanding of insomnia, and its hold over our imagination, with Dr. Manvir Bhatia, the vice-president of Indian Society for Sleep Research; science journalist Kenneth Miller, author of Mapping the Darkness; the Scottish writer – and self-confessed ‘intermittent insomniac' - A L Kennedy; and World Service listeners.(Photo: A woman lying awake on a bed at night.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Jamie Zeitzer about his recently published research on the link between one's bedtime preference and mental health. He explains which sleep pattern correlates with better mental health and which correlates with poorer mental health. Unfortunately for night owls, he offers hypotheses on why going to bed late, regardless of preference, associates with worse mental health. He also discusses the benefits and risks of daytime naps, the best "sleep" temperature, and provides general recommendations for achieving the best possible sleep. Dr. Zeitzer is a researcher, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and Co-Director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Sciences at Stanford University.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Read Manic Kingdom.Support the Show.

As the sun dips below the horizon and the world settles into the embrace of nightfall, millions of people across the globe find themselves tossing and turning, their minds racing with the day's events and tomorrow's uncertainties. In this fast-paced, ever-connected world, the elusive nature of sleep has become a universal challenge, affecting the young and old alike. But what if there was a simple, effective technique that could help you drift off into a peaceful slumber? Enter Progressive Muscle Relaxation, a time-tested method that has been helping individuals fall asleep and stay asleep for decades.First developed by American physician Edmund Jacobson in the 1920s, progressive muscle relaxation is a technique that involves systematically tensing and relaxing different muscle groups throughout the body. The premise is simple: by focusing on the physical sensations of tension and relaxation, you can quiet your mind and induce a state of deep relaxation that paves the way for restful sleep.To begin, find a quiet, comfortable place where you can lie down without interruption. Dim the lights, and if you'd like, play some soft, soothing music in the background. Take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to settle into the surface beneath you. Now, starting with your feet, gently tense the muscles for five to ten seconds, focusing on the sensation of tension. Then, slowly release the tension, paying attention to the feeling of relaxation that washes over the area. Take a moment to notice the difference between the tension and relaxation before moving on to the next muscle group.Work your way up the body, tensing and relaxing each muscle group in turn. Move from your feet to your calves, then your thighs, buttocks, abdomen, chest, back, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and finally, your face. As you progress through each area, imagine the tension melting away, replaced by a profound sense of relaxation that envelops your entire being.The beauty of progressive muscle relaxation lies in its simplicity and accessibility. It requires no special equipment or training, and can be practiced virtually anywhere, at any time. Whether you're lying in bed, sitting in a chair, or even standing in line at the grocery store, you can take a moment to tense and relax your muscles, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility to your day.But beyond its immediate relaxation benefits, progressive muscle relaxation has been shown to have a profound impact on sleep quality and duration. By reducing physical tension and quieting the mind, this technique can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, leading to more restful, rejuvenating slumber.In a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research, researchers found that participants who practiced progressive muscle relaxation for six weeks experienced significant improvements in sleep quality compared to a control group. They reported falling asleep more quickly, waking up less frequently during the night, and feeling more refreshed and energized upon waking in the morning.But the benefits of this technique extend far beyond the realm of sleep. Research has shown that regular practice of progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce stress, anxiety, and even chronic pain. By learning to recognize and release physical tension, you can cultivate a greater sense of body awareness and emotional resilience, better equipping you to handle the challenges of daily life.In a study published in the International Journal of Stress Management, researchers found that office workers who practiced progressive muscle relaxation for just 10 minutes a day experienced significant reductions in perceived stress and muscle tension compared to a control group. These findings suggest that even brief, regular practice of this technique can have a profound impact on mental and physical well-being.So how can you incorporate progressive muscle relaxation into your own life? The key is to start small and be consistent. Set aside 10-15 minutes each day, preferably at the same time, to practice the technique. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can lie down or sit comfortably, and begin working through the muscle groups as described earlier.As you become more comfortable with the technique, you may find that you can practice it in shorter bursts throughout the day, whenever you feel stress or tension rising. Take a moment to tense and relax your shoulders while sitting at your desk, or focus on releasing the tension in your jaw and face during a long commute.Over time, progressive muscle relaxation can become a powerful tool in your self-care arsenal, helping you cultivate a greater sense of calm, resilience, and well-being in all aspects of your life.But perhaps the most profound benefit of this technique lies in its ability to foster a deeper connection between mind and body. In a world that often feels fragmented and disconnected, progressive muscle relaxation offers a simple, powerful way to bridge the gap between the physical and the mental, the conscious and the unconscious.As you lie in bed at night, focusing on the sensations of tension and relaxation, you may find your mind beginning to quiet, your thoughts slowing down and drifting away. In this space of deep relaxation, you may discover insights and inspirations that had previously been obscured by the noise of daily life.And as you drift off into a peaceful slumber, you may find that the benefits of progressive muscle relaxation extend far beyond the boundaries of sleep. With regular practice, this technique can help you cultivate a greater sense of presence, compassion, and connection in all aspects of your life.So the next time you find yourself lying awake at night, your mind racing with worries and concerns, remember the power of progressive muscle relaxation. Take a deep breath, focus on the sensations of tension and relaxation, and allow yourself to be carried away on a wave of deep, restful sleep.As the great poet Rumi once wrote, "The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep." With progressive muscle relaxation as your guide, you may just discover the secrets to unlocking a lifetime of restful, rejuvenating slumber.for more info https://www.quietperiodplease.com/

On this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Diana Noga about her new research on the relationship between short sleep and the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. This is especially relevant in a busy world that doesn't prioritize sleep and is already facing growing rates of Type 2 Diabetes, even in younger age groups. In the podcast, she discusses how they conducted their study and the theories for why a short nightly sleep duration may increase risk for Type 2 Diabetes. She also explains a surprising finding, which was that  a healthy diet did not mitigate risk of Type 2 Diabetes when short sleep was involved. Dr. Noga is a researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden where she focuses on the relationship between sleep and health.

VYS0034 | The Weird Review of the Year 2023 Pt.1 - Show Notes 2023 was a weird year, a slightly frightening year, a year dominated by UAPs becoming ever more unidentified, AIs becoming ever more intelligent, the Military–industrial complex becoming ever more complex and human beings becoming ever more fucking stupid. In this first part of the second annual Weird Review of the Year, Hine takes Buckley on a fevered journey through the haunted forest of the memories of the year that was, stopping along the way to point out the many strange lights in the sky, the fierce black leopards in the long grass, and the spoon bending, sooth-saying light entertainer hiding in the dark shadows cast by the impenetrable canopy of misinformation onto the windy, uncertain and often deceptive desire-path of truth...

There are, I'd venture to say, two types of people in the mornings: those who snooze through alarms, and those who don't. And it's probably fair to say that society is a bit rough on snoozers. They are often characterised as lazy and undisciplined - bad sleep hygiene, if you will. But is that UNFAIR? Could hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock in fact be beneficial? A new study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests just that - the study's lead author is Tina Sundelin, a sleep researcher from Stockholm University.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: December 1st, 2016Sleep paralysis can be defined in several ways. In terms of the experiencer, it can be described as "a visitation by a malevolent creature which attacked its victims as they slept" (Cox). More clinically, sleep paralysis is understood as "a transient,conscious state of involuntary immobility occurring when falling asleep or upon wakening" (Cheyne, 2002). Research into sleep paralysis has produced compelling evidence that the phenomenon can be explained by brain chemistry and physiology in conjunction with REM sleep. But is that all there is to it?

The downsides of sleep deprivation are legion: irritability, poor judgment, even lowered testosterone. Yet the duties of the .mil and LE career fields are well known for demanding odd and/or long hours that can make it hard to get good sleep. Mike talks with Dr. Paul Sargent of O2X, a specialist in human performances and sleep factors, in how to get the good shut-eye. Dr. Sargent retired from a 25 year Navy career that included such exotic postings as being the only psychiatrist in Anbar Province, where he helped stand up the Combat Sleep School. How to maximize healthy sleep hygiene without using drugs that might blunt the tactical edge is his specialty, and in this episode he talks with Mike about the best way we can adapt modern life schedules to bodies that have ancient sleep needs.

Do you press the snooze on your alarm?  If so, you could be getting better sleep than those who don'tGetting a few more minutes of sleep after snoozing your alarm could actually help avid snoozers wake up, new research suggestsThe study, published in the Journal of Sleep Research, found that people who snoozed regularly got additional sleep and were more alert upon waking, despite the disturbed sleep.The Stockholm University researchers surveyed 1,732 participants -1,195 people admitted they hit snooze or set multiple morning alarms at least “sometimes,” and a quarter of people blamed “feeling too tired to wake up” for pressing “snooze.”On average, snoozers — who were generally younger than non-snoozers by about 6 years and more likely to be night owls — reported more morning drowsiness, when waking immediately.Despite their sleep being disturbed by the alarm, snoozers, who still scored more than 20 minutes of sleep, weren't forced to wake from a deep sleep and performed better on cognitive tests after waking up.Photo Courtesy: Self.com

The Business of Meetings – Episode 165 - The Science Behind Mental Health with Dr. Romie Mushtaq We have the great pleasure of speaking with Dr. Romie Mushtaq today!  Dr. Romie is a true expert and thought leader in mental health, wellness, and mindfulness! She has done and achieved many things over the last two decades and knows our industry well! She joins us today to share her knowledge and explain what leaders should be doing for their mental health and the well-being of their teams. Bio Dr. Romie is a board-certified physician, award-winning wellness speaker, and the founder of “brainSHIFT at Work.” She brings together over 20 years of authority in neurology, integrative medicine, and mindfulness to not just deliver programs, but create cultural change. She is on a mission to transform mental health and wellness in the workplace and currently works with Fortune 500 companies, professional athletes, & global associations. Dr. Romie is also the Chief Wellness Officer for Evolution Hospitality, where she scaled a mindfulness & wellness program to over 7000 employees. Her expertise is featured in the national media such as NPR, NBC, TEDx talks, and Forbes. Find the cure for your busy brain at drromie.com or @drromie on social media. About Dr. Romie and her company, the brainSHIFT Institute Dr. Romie is a triple board-certified physician in neurology and integrative medicine, so she combines Eastern and Western medicine. She is also Chief Wellness Officer at Evolution Hospitality and knows the events industry well. The brainSHIFT Institute brings mental health programs to corporate America. People contact them because they know Dr. Romie has taken care of the well-being of employees in the workplace, and they want to know how to do that for themselves and their teams. Dr. Romie's journey Dr. Romie is the daughter of South Asian immigrant parents. She was born and raised in the United States, and from the time she was born until she turned eighteen, her father always insisted she became a doctor. Her parents were STEMinists and raised her to be one too. When she entered the world of neurology, less than five percent of American brain doctors were women. In addition to seeing patients, she was also doing cutting-edge research. Although she loved her job, she suffered between 2008 and 2009 because she felt alone. Her patients noticed her suffering, but none of her colleagues did. She got so sick from all the stress that she had to have life-saving surgery in 2010. On her journey to healing after the surgery, she found her path to mindfulness and integrative medicine. Between working with healers around the world, returning, and getting board-certified in integrative medicine, she realized that American employees are being killed by the workload and all the stress. So she embarked on a mission to stop corporate America from hurting the brains of its employees. She did a TEDx Talk in 2018, and it went viral. Then the pandemic happened, and the mental health crisis that the experts already knew existed became publicly known, and people began to talk about it.  Dr. Romie got to where she is today because she does not want anyone else to feel alone and suffer without help. Breaking the stress-success cycle The mentality of professionals in the meetings and events industry, thinking they are only as good as their last event, must change because it is a recipe for disaster for their brains and can lead to burnout. Dr. Romie breaks it down into brain science and calls it the stress-success cycle. She points out that there is a way for event professionals to stop chasing a success high, keep an even keel in their brain, and allow that to translate to their business. Some symptoms of the stress-success cycle Waking up with no energy. Needing caffeine to get going in the morning and keep going throughout the day. Having a constantly-multiplying to-do list, yet being unable to focus. (Adult-onset ADD) Feeling anxious. Disturbed sleep. (Known as a busy brain) Not being able to take work out of your brain. Needing to use alcohol or supplements to take the edge off. Needing to take a sedative at night to calm down. A better way to function There is a better way to function. Events professionals can be successful in their business and with clients- even with a busy brain. The first step is to become aware that you are in a stress-success cycle and have a busy brain. (Take Dr. Romie's free online test to assess your stress level.) Sleep Research has shown that sleep is the foundational requirement for resetting a busy brain. So getting enough sleep is essential for professionals who want to be successful. In the brainSHIFT protocol, they say that sleep is the new status symbol of successful professionals. Chasing the dopamine-adrenalin high Some event professionals continue to do event planning because they are chasing the rush of the dopamine-adrenalin high that comes when an event has gone well. But constantly seeking that high is unhealthy for the brain because it can damage the HPA access and deplete the cortisol and adrenalin coming from the adrenal glands.  Finding balance To find balance, you must create micro-habits or make small brain shifts to maintain sustained dopamine and adrenalin levels. That will allow you to wake up each morning feeling energized without needing a crisis to fuel you. To get a natural dopamine high each morning, you must get more than four hours- preferably six to nine hours of sleep every night.  Easy actions to take at night Modern-day lifestyles do not give most of us the luxury of having mindful morning routines. So, at brainSHIFT, they have designed some mindfulness meditation exercises for busy brains that are to be done at night after digital devices have been put away. Dr. Romie's morning rule Dr. Romie has found one morning rule particularly effective for her clients: They must give her thirty minutes before they pick up their phones, look at their calendars, read emails, or engage with social media. Instilling corporate mindfulness BrainSHIFT has developed an entire framework called Building a Culture of Wellness to assist leaders in putting their people first and caring for the mental health of their teams. Toxic leaders When a leader is toxic, it usually means they have something toxic and unprocessed in their life. As a consultant, Dr. Romie believes her job is to show toxic leaders compassion. In the leadership talk at brainSHIFT, they engage all levels of leadership within organizations to teach them how to brain-shift for their entire team. Health advice for women entrepreneurs and their teams Dr. Romie advises women entrepreneurs to prioritize sleep and have their thyroid panels and hormones checked annually. The best thing women leaders can do for their teams is to leave them alone from 9 pm to 7 am.

In this 168th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week we discuss twitter mobs, and Thomas Sowell's Intellectuals and Society, with example after example of how the media filters reality and creates fiction while burying reality: from famine to homelessness, gun control to unemployment. We also discuss science, a field—like journalism—that is supposed to be working in pursuit of truth. Then we return to the question of AI, and whether two pieces out this week that suggest a moratorium, or something stronger, are the right approach.

Almost a century ago, the origins of sleep science research began at the University of Chicago with the opening of the world's first sleep laboratory. Since then, sleep science has evolved into a multi-disciplinary field — with scientists focusing on diagnosing the causes of sleep disorders, to how sleep affects our metabolic health, and improving methods for good sleep hygiene. But at the core of sleep science, one fundamental question remains: Why do we sleep? In our special series, The Day Tomorrow Began, we speak with two of the world's leading sleep researchers: Assoc. Prof. Esra Tasali, director of the UChicago Sleep Center; and Prof. Emmanuel Mignot, director of the Stanford Center for Narcolepsy.

A new study of more than 500,000 Chinese adults over seven years finds that participants who ate foods flavored with chili peppers every day reduced their risk of premature dying by 14 percent, as compared to people who ate chili peppers less than once a week. “Even among those who consumed spicy foods less frequently [one to two days a week], the beneficial effects could be observed,” says Lu Qi, professor of epidemiology at Tulane University. “Indeed, moderate increase of spicy foods would benefit.” While his study, published in the BMJ, doesn't address other foods, earlier research has indicated that horseradish, black pepper, garlic, and ginger may offer similar benefits.”There also is preliminary data from other studies showing such potential,” Qi says. Capsaicin in chili peppers may be what protects health, Qi says. It reduces risk of obesity, offers antibacterial properties, and helps protect against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other conditions. Chili peppers also improve inflammation and reduce blood pressure and oxidative stress. Omega-3 may be helpful for attention, impulse control in adolescents University Pompeu Fabra (Spain), October 3 2022. Research findings reported in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry revealed that higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) were respectively associated with better test scores for attention and impulsiveness among adolescent boys and girls compared with adolescents who had lower levels. “Polyunsaturated fatty acids are critical for brain development and function, and their deficiency may have long-term functional consequences” authors Ariadna Pinar-Marti and colleagues explained. “Despite the established importance of DHA in brain development, few studies have evaluated whether it plays a role in the attention performance of healthy adolescents,” commented study coordinator Jordi Júlvez, PhD. “In addition, the possible role of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), another omega-3 but of plant origin, has not been as extensively studied.” In comparison with adolescents whose DHA levels were among the lowest one-third of participants, those whose levels were among the top third showed better attention performance as indicated by scores for reaction time and conflict response. Higher ALA levels were associated with less impulsivity. “The role of ALA in attention control is still unclear, but this finding may be clinically relevant, as impulsivity is a feature of several psychiatric conditions, such as ADHD,” Dr Pinar-Martí noted. Weighted blankets found to increase melatonin Uppsala University (Sweden), October 3, 2022 A new study from Uppsala University shows that using a weighted blanket at bedtime increases melatonin in young adults. This hormone increases in response to darkness, and some evidence suggests that it promotes sleep. The findings are published in the Journal of Sleep Research. Previous research has shown that weighted blankets may ease insomnia in humans. Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden experimented with 26 young men and women to examine if the bedtime use of a weighted blanket increases the production of sleep-promoting and anti-stress hormones like melatonin and oxytocin. In addition, they investigated whether the bedtime use of a weighted blanket (12% of participants' body weight) reduced the activity of stress systems in the body. To this end, saliva was collected repeatedly from participants while they were covered with either a weighted or a light blanket to measure melatonin, oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the fight and flight sympathetic nervous system. “Using a weighted blanket increased melatonin concentrations in saliva by about 30%. However, no differences in oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the sympathetic nervous system were observed between the weighted and light blanket conditions,” says Elisa Meth, first author and Ph.D. student at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. “Our study may offer a mechanism explaining why weighted blankets may exert some therapeutic benefits, such as improved sleep. However, our findings rely on a small sample and investigated only the acute effects of a weighted blanket. Thus, larger trials are needed, including an investigation of whether the observed effects of a weighted blanket on melatonin are sustained over longer periods,” says senior author Christian Benedict, Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. Clinical Trial: Vegetable Extract may Treat Autism Better than Drugs Harvard Medical School, September 30, 2022 A recent clinical trial has shown that one vegetable extract may have astounding positive effects on those with autism – broccoli extract. Along with an extensive Autism Spectrum Disease research database at GMI, there is evidence suggesting that broccoli extract (along with avoiding heavy metals, minimizing glyphosate exposure, and eradicating the diet of gluten) shows promise in improving ASD. The active ingredient in broccoli that seems to help is called sulforaphane, a molecule found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. A groundbreaking study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA titled, “Sulforaphane treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” found that a broccoli sprout extract significantly improved the behavior of boys and men (those who most often suffer from autism). Sulforaphane was selected, in part, because its physiological effects are well characterized and ideal for those with ASD: “Dietary sulforaphane, of recognized low toxicity, was selected for its capacity to reverse abnormalities that have been associated with ASD, including oxidative stress and lower antioxidant capacity, depressed glutathione synthesis, reduced mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, increased lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammmation.” The placebo-controlled, randomized pilot study of 44 males, ages 13-27, showed that after 18 weeks of treatment with a sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract, 46% had noticeable improvements in social interactions and 42% has improvements in verbal communication. More than half of all participants also showed a decrease in irritability, hyperactivity, and repetitive movements. Of note, once treatment with broccoli extract stopped, most of the behaviors associated with autism returned. The dosing schedule was determined by body weight: · 100 lbs or less: one capsule containing 50 µmol (232 mg) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · 101–199 lbs, 100 µmol (two capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · More than 200 lbs: 150 µmol (three capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily Social media use linked to developing depression regardless of personality University of Arkansas, October 3, 2022 Researchers in public policy and education recently found that young adults who use more social media are significantly more likely to develop depression within six months, regardless of personality type. Published in the Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, the study, “Associations between social media use, personality structure, and development of depression,” was co-authored by Renae Merrill, a doctoral student in the Public Policy Program at the University of Arkansas. This new study found strong and linear associations of depression across all personality traits.” Among the study's findings was that people with high agreeableness were 49% less likely to become depressed than people with low agreeableness. Additionally, those with high neuroticism were twice as likely to develop depression than those with low neuroticism when using more than 300 minutes of social media per day. More importantly, for each personality trait, social media use was strongly associated with the development of depression. The sample of more than 1,000 U.S. adults between the ages of 18 to 30 was from data collected by Primack and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh. The authors suggest that problematic social comparison can enhance negative feelings of oneself and others, which could explain how risk of depression increases with increased social media use. Engaging primarily in negative content can also enhance these feelings. And lastly, engaging in more social media reduces opportunities for in-person interactions and activities outside of the home. “Findings from this study are important during a time of technology expansion and integration,” Merrill said. “Connecting to people virtually may increase the risk of miscommunication or misperception that leads to relationship difficulties and potential risk for developing mental health problems.” “People have innate emotional needs for social connection and understanding,” Merrill added. “For example, social media experiences can be improved by becoming more aware of our emotions and our connection with others in various life circumstances. This awareness helps improve relationship quality by simply reaching shared meaning and understanding through more effective communication and concern for others and ourselves. Despite our differences, we have the ability to create a culture of empathy and kindness.” Which grains you eat can impact your risk of getting heart disease earlier Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Iran), October 3, 2022 In one of the first studies to examine the relationship between different types of grain intake and premature coronary artery disease in the Middle East, researchers found a higher intake of refined grain was associated with an increased risk of premature coronary artery disease in an Iranian population, while eating whole grains was associated with reduced risk. According to the researchers, previous epidemiological studies have reported an association between different types of grain intake with the risk of coronary artery disease. The current study evaluated the association between refined and whole grains consumption and risk of PCAD in an Iranian population. Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) refers to atherosclerotic narrowing of coronary arteries in males under 55 years old or in females under 65 years old. It is often asymptomatic early in the course of the disease but may lead to chest pain (angina) and/or heart attack with progressive development of narrowing (stenosis) or plaque rupture of the arterial wall. Risk factors for PCAD include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Whole grains are defined as containing the entire grain, while refined grains have been milled—ground into flour or meal—to improve shelf life but they lose important nutrients in the process. The ACC/American Heart Association Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease recommends a diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and fish to decrease heart disease risk factors. The study recruited 2099 individuals with PCAD from hospitals with catheterization labs in different cities and ethnicities throughout Iran who underwent coronary angiography (women aged ≤ 70 and men ≤ 60). In total, 1,168 patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the control group, while 1,369 patients with CAD with obstruction equal or above 75% in at least a single coronary artery or ≥ 50% in the left main coronary artery made up the case group. After adjusting for confounders, a higher intake of refined grains was associated with an increased risk of PCAD, while whole grain intake was inversely related to reduced risk of PCAD.
