Abstract complessivo di un simposio

Sleep is fundamental to physical and mental health and plays a critical role in overall well-being. While it is well-established that sleep disturbances are a risk factor for mental disorders, and that insomnia is a severe condition in itself, the assessment and monitoring of sleep have become increasingly important not only in clinical populations but also in the general population across all...

900. The interplay between sleep health and peripartum psychological health in the family context: a prospective psychophysiological approach

Talk in simposio

Over 70% of peripartum women experience insomnia symptoms. Sleep difficulties increase psychological and health risks during peripartum. Longitudinal psychophysiological research is lacking. This ongoing longitudinal study include ecological-momentary assessment (EMA) and randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs to understand the interplay between physiological, hormonal and subjective...

697. Are eating worries and sleep quality associated in daily life? An exploratory ecological study

Talk in simposio

Introduction: Previous research has shown a strong link between sleep and eating patterns. However, when considering disordered eating behaviors, such as in eating disorders, findings are less consistent. Some studies report reduced sleep quality in individuals with bulimia nervosa and, more notably, anorexia nervosa, but further research is needed to clarify these relationships.

801. Exploring EEG Complexity in REM and NREM Sleep: Insights into Insomnia Disorder

Giulia Aquino (Università di Pisa)

Talk in simposio

Background:
Insomnia disorder has been associated with altered EEG dynamics during both slow-wave and REM sleep. The REM sleep instability hypothesis has recently emerged as a novel framework for understanding insomnia, though EEG studies remain limited. EEG complexity, which reflects the richness and variability of temporal brain activity, may provide new insights into the dynamic...

529. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder as a unique window into degeneration: the role of sleep, dreaming, cognition and mood

Talk in simposio

Sleep is fundamental for physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being across the lifespan, with its restorative functions becoming increasingly critical in aging. In older adults, sleep alterations are not only frequent but may also signal the early onset of neurodegenerative processes. Among these, REM sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) has emerged as a key model representing a prodromal stage of...
