Guest Blogger: Diego R. Mazzotti, Ph.D. University of Kansas Medical Center Overview In this post, we will discuss some of the highlights of a Workshop Report recently published in SLEEP1 by our colleagues at the Sleep Research Network (SRN), a Task Force from the Sleep Research Society (SRS). This report summarizes a discussion panel held at the World Sleep Congress in Vancouver, Canada in 2019, that brought together leaders in sleep, circadian sciences, and biomedical informatics.

Overview/Abstract What is the problem being addressed? Insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea commonly co-occur (COMISA). Their co-occurrence has been associated with worse cardiometabolic and mental health. However, it remains unknown if people with COMISA are at a heightened risk of incident cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Keep reading

What is the ENIGMA-Sleep? The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta Analysis (ENIGMA) consortium is a global collaboration of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying neuropsychiatric illnesses and provides a powerful collaborative framework around the world. ENIGMA has more than 50 working groups, pooling large-scale coordinated data and expertise to answer fundamental clinical and neuroscientific questions, which offers testing reproducibility and robustness of findings (1).

Guest Blogger: Mattias Baumert Overview What is the problem being addressed? Our objective was to quantify the burden of cortical arousals throughout sleep and determine its association with long-term cardiovascular (CV) and overall mortality. What was the approach to solving the problem? We quantified arousal burden (AB) as the cumulative duration of all arousal events relative to total sleep time in three large cohort studies.
