A study in the July issue of Sleep suggests that healthy adults with late bedtimes and chronic sleep restriction may be more susceptible to weight gain due to the increased consumption of calories during late-night hours.

During the month of June, sleep is the featured theme on the Health & Social Care Arena website of journal publisher Routledge, a member of the Taylor & Francis Group. 

Two studies in the June 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine examined potential methods to improve adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. 

A new study suggests that regularity of bedtime prior to initiation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is an important factor that may influence treatment compliance in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute posted a notice (NOT-HL-13-177) of its intent to publish a new Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that will encourage applications for research in support of the development of novel point-of-care (POC) and implementation of existing technologies specifically for practical clinical applications that can guide diagnostic and therapeutic efforts in the heart, lung, blood, and sleep clinical research settings.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a funding opportunity announcement (PA-12-179) for Exploratory/Developmental Clinical Research Grants in Obesity (R21).

A new study reports that a habitual short sleep duration of less than five hours and obstructive sleep apnea are independently associated with abdominal visceral fat in Korean adults.

People with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea are two times more likely to have brain white matter change even after adjustment for hypertension, reports a study in the May issue of SLEEP.
