NCT07329283
Sleep is an important factor for overall health. This study will see how different light exposure patterns and food intake impact a person's metabolism (how the body breaks down food) when sleeping is reduced. Participants will attend 6 to 8 in-person visits to the study clinic, including three overnight stays. People will complete surveys and medical tests. The study will last about 4 to 6 months.
NCT07206420
This cross-sectional study explored the impact of medical education on the health and lifestyle behaviors of undergraduate medical students at Nishtar Medical University, Multan. Medical training is known to be academically and emotionally demanding, which can significantly influence students' physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and mental well-being. Data were collected through a structured, self-administered questionnaire distributed to medical students across different years of study. The survey assessed lifestyle domains including diet, exercise, sleep patterns, stress, and coping mechanisms. Demographic details and academic year were also recorded. The primary objective was to evaluate the association between the intensity of medical education and students' overall health and lifestyle. Findings aim to provide insight into how medical training environments shape future physicians' personal health practices and to identify potential areas for institutional support and wellness interventions.

NCT05683483
In the WEsleep study, the investigators will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial. 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to implement low-cost and simple interventions aimed at improving sleep in admitted patients. Another 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to function as control groups. Subjective sleep quality and sleep-wake timing will be assessed in adult medical and surgical patients admitted into one of 12 participating wards, using questionnaires and a sleep diary. In addition, in a subset of participants, objective sleep measures will be assessed in with an EEG headband and a sleep mat.
NCT05820555
To test the timing of evening tablet use on children's circadian phase and sleep (i.e., sleep onset and sleep duration) compared to no screen media use. To explore the effect of evening tablet use on children's inhibitory control and executive function.
NCT06346574
With funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy will be implementing a new, health and wellbeing program for Head Start educators at ABCD Head Start Centers in the greater Boston area. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combined impact of a health and wellness program and behavior change guides. The evaluation will focus on ABCD Head Start educators as the study population. Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy is responsible for implementing and evaluating this new intervention through surveys and analysis of administrative (health and wellness App) data. A paper and pencil survey will be used to gather information on dietary, physical activity, and sleep behaviors. The surveys will also include a module on satisfaction with the health and wellness App and Guides. Survey data will be combined with the administrative data about App utilization.
NCT06551935
Sleep is essential for recovery and performance in athletes, yet they often struggle with inadequate sleep duration and quality. Theoretically, strategies such as sleep extension and sleep hygiene could improve sleep and subsequent recovery in athletes, but their effectiveness remains largely unstudied in the literature. This study aimed to analyze the effects of sleep extension and sleep hygiene on physical and cognitive performance in soccer players.
NCT06180837
The overall goal is to determine how a sleep extension intervention (increasing time in bed) in individuals who maintain less than 6.5 hours sleep per night affects their plasma ceramides and insulin sensitivity. Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with sleep extension (intervention) and healthy lifestyle (control) groups. The sleep extension is designed to increase participant's time in bed by 2 hours per night. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).

Health CASCADE (Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement n° 956501) aims to address complex public health problems by making co-creation a scientifically sound methodology, aided by evidence-based methods, practices, and technologies. The current study, which focuses on co-creation in the school context is part of this overarching European project. Healthy sleep is important for adolescents' mental and physical health and cognitive functioning. However, sleep difficulties are among the top three health complaints in European adolescents. This indicates a need for successful interventions. Co-creation is a promising approach to design tailored interventions. By actively involving all relevant stakeholders, co-creation has been shown to increase self-efficacy, self-consciousness, empowerment, and feelings of ownership. However, co-created interventions are localized and therefore less generalizable to a broader population. Moreover, the process is very time- and cost- consuming. To make co-creation more feasible, research should focus on the upscaling of existing interventions. The investigators propose that the co-creation process is still absolutely vital for intervention success but that it can be shortened. The investigators aim to scale up an existing intervention to promote healthy sleep. This existing intervention was developed using co-creation together with the target group (adolescents aged 13 to 15) and parents, and implemented with support of teachers and fellow students. To investigate whether the shorter co-creation process is needed in order to scale up the intervention to another setting and context, the investigators will use a three-arm cluster controlled trial. This will include one co-creation intervention school, one standard implementation school (this school receives the existing intervention without a shortened co-creation process), and one control school. The co-creation process will be structured by using the Intervention Mapping Protocol to ensure an evidence-based framework. The effect of the intervention will be evaluated using actigraphy and questionnaires, while the process will be evaluated using questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups.
NCT05393206
Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) have recently been incorporated in the French medical studies. They will soon be an important part of the national evaluation of the students, therefore being responsible for a high level of stress. The differents strategies of coping have never been characterized for this particular group of students. We hypothetize that different strategies of coping are associated with different level of stress, thus being an interesting insight to help students to deal with their stress and prevent disorders linked to stress. We will be using the Brief Cope Scale to assess the different ways of coping, in addition to multiple demographic and health-related questionnaires.
NCT05778812
The purpose of this study is to investigate improvements in sleep by comparing two 6-week digital programs, either online or app-based, that deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the "gold standard" treatment for insomnia, with or without a bedside device to help track sleep.
NCT05971212
Around 80% of children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and autism are reported to have significant difficulties with sleep. This may be a problem with settling off to sleep, waking repeatedly in the night, or both. Often these children will be prescribed a medication called melatonin to help them sleep, but there is no strong evidence of its effectiveness in children, the long-term side effects are not known and prescriptions for this drug cost millions of pounds a year for the NHS. Many children continue to have persistent sleep problems despite taking melatonin. Sleep support programmes delivered by nurses and sleep practitioners are known to be effective and to give parents and young people long-term strategies for promoting sleep without the use of medication. However, sleep support services are not universally funded. In this feasibility study 76 children with ADHD, autism or other neurodevelopmental disorder who have been prescribed and have been regularly taking melatonin for at least a year but still have severe sleep difficulties will be recruited. The investigators will help to improve the child's sleep with a sleep practitioner support programme and, if possible, reduce the dose of melatonin or stop it completely if it is no longer needed. Using this design, it will be possible to test whether a programme delivered by sleep practitioners will significantly improve sleep for children using a non-medical approach and in turn improve the health and well-being of the child and family and reduce melatonin prescribing, thereby saving NHS resources and the potential for long-term side effects. The study design will be delivered by Sheffield Children's Hospital and supported by parent users, the Sleep Charity and Sheffield CCG. The results will be disseminated widely to local, regional and national groups as well as via social media.

Pain of the sacrococcygeal region is called coccygodynia This painful clinical picture, which causes a decrease in the quality of life, also causes disability. Coccycodynia has been associated with hysteria, neurosis, and depression. In some studies, it has been reported that it should be evaluated in somatization in coccygodynia. There are a few studies examining the relationship between coccygodynia and psychiatric disorders.There is no study in the literature examining coccygodynia and sleep. There may be a relationship between pelvic floor muscle spasm in the etiology of coccygodynia and sleep quality. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between disability severity and anxiety, depression and sleep quality in patients with coccygodynia.
NCT04918004
Although many studies have shown an inverse relationship between blood glucose regulation and sleep hygiene, recommendations for improving sleep hygiene have not yet been included in diabetes treatment guidelines. In this study, it was aimed to reveal with a randomized controlled study whether training on sleep hygiene will have an effect on blood glucose regulation of Type 2 diabetes patients. Case and control groups will be formed by random sampling method. Pıttsburgh sleep quality index will be applied face to face and HbA1c values will be recorded for all patients included in the study. In addition, sleep hygiene training will be given to the case group. Among the patients included in the study, the second HbA1c levels of those who came for routine diabetes control within six months will be recorded and the sleep hygiene education compliance scale will be applied to the case group. Differences between groups will be evaluated using chi-square and Student's t tests. According to the results of the research, it will be tried to decide whether sleep hygiene education can be used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes patients.

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) characterizes a range of negative health and performance outcomes that result from chronically low energy availability. RED-S concerns high performance junior and senior athletes across Canada and has a prevalence rate of 3-60%. Our ability to assess and diagnose RED-S remains poor. Accordingly, we aim to create the best parameters to diagnose and manage RED-S; along with information of the prevalence and severity across Canada and globally. These outcomes are expected to have a significant positive impact on the health and performance of Canadian athletes in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2022 and beyond.
