Long-lasting Sleep Patterns Of Adult Patients With Minor Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and On-mTBI Subjects Sleep disturbances of adult patients with chronic mTBI may manifest characteristic alterations in both timing and architecture of their sleep patterns. Sleep lab evaluations may help identify subgroups of mTBI patients who would probably benefit from treatment. http://www.sleep-journal.com/article/S1389-9457(07)00179-7/abstract Relationships Between Headache And Sleep In A Non-Clinical Population Of Children And Adolescents The relationships between headache and sleep problems are evident even in a non-clinical population of children and adolescents, with Migraine Group showing poorer sleep quality, sleepiness and a tendency toward eveningness. http://www.sleep-journal.com/article/S1389-9457(07)00312-7/abstract Indiplon: A Nonbenzodiazepine Sedative–Hypnotic for the Treatment of Insomnia Indiplon is a nonbenzodiazepine sedative–hypnotic that exhibits its sedating activity through its interaction with the {gamma}-aminobutyric acid {alpha} receptor complex. Indiplon immediate-release (IR) as well as modified-release (MR) forms have shown improvement compared with placebo in patients with DSM-IV-TR primary insomnia in various areas of subjective and objective sleep measurements. Specifically, improvements in total sleep time, latency to persistent sleep, latency to sleep onset, wake after sleep onset, and sleep quality have been noted in clinical trials. http://www.theannals.com/cgi/content/abstract/42/7/1070 Heart Rate Variability And Daytime Functioning In Insomniacs And Normal Sleepers: Preliminary Results Insomniacs are not sleepier during the day than normal sleepers.

Possible mechanisms of link between burnout and insomnia, as well as the clinical implications of the findings, were suggested. http://www.jpsychores.com/article/S0022-3999(08)00047-0/abstract |
