Good quality sleep of sufficient duration is vital for optimal physiological function and our health. Sleep deprivation is associated with impaired neurocognitive function and emotional control, and increases the risk for cardiometabolic diseases, obesity and cancer. Sleep develops during fetal life with the emergence of a recognisable pattern of sleep states in the preterm fetus associated with the development, maturation and connectivity within neural networks in the brain. Despite the physiological importance of sleep, surprisingly little is known about how sleep develops in individuals born preterm. Globally, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm (<37 weeks gestation) each year, and these babies are at significant risk of neural injury and impaired brain development. This review discusses how sleep develops during fetal and neonatal life, how preterm birth impacts on sleep development to adulthood, and the factors which may contribute to impaired brain and sleep development, leading to altered neurocognitive, behavioural and motor capabilities in the infant and child. Going forward, the challenge is to identify specific risk factors for impaired sleep development in preterm babies to allow for the design of interventions that will improve the quality and quantity of sleep throughout life.

“…In parallel, the importance of sleep for health, cognition and overall well-being is extensively documented in the literature (McCoy & Strecker 2011;Itani et al 2016;Krueger et al 2016). Neurocognitive effects of sleep restriction have also been demonstrated (Lowe et al 2017). Besides, sleep has not only an impact upon the brain's readiness to learn, but it also contributes to memory consolidation after learning (Benson & Feinberg 1977;Diekelmann & Born 2010).…”

Adolescents’ sleep/wake patterns and school schedules: towards flexibility

In the literature, two main trends may be identified in the countermeasures associated to adolescents' sleep restriction: sleep education and changes in the school starting times. However, school educational programs have been able to increase knowledge about sleep, which did not necessarily result in behavioral changes. Later school start times have been proposed as a strategy to reduce the adolescents' sleep restriction but there is no consensus about the change. Longitudinal studies in adolescent populations are urgently needed in order to determine the efficacy of interventions aiming at a change in school starting times. Academic, behavioural, health and wellbeing variables could be monitored for an extensive period before and after implementing the new school schedule options, thereby enabling a within-subject experimental design. It is no longer acceptable to impose the 'one size fits all' approach on the school start times.

“…Indulgent Eating 16 The current findings also have substantive meaning beyond the methodological implications. Given that advertising for food items in the modern living environment rely on appetizing images, it is possible that such advertising may result in acute susceptibility to indulgence, particularly when other acute dlPFC suppressing factors are present, such as sleep deprivation [29], stress [30], or alcohol intoxication [31]. From this perspective, the key to increasing probability of successfully resisting indulgence relies partially on avoiding exposure to acute attenuators of cognitive control such as the above.…”

Background: Prior studies have found that continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting the left dlPFC results in reliable increases in consumption of calorie-dense food items. However, it is not known to what extent such effects are modified by cues in the immediate eating environment. Tempting environments (i.e., those saturated with appetitive eating cues) may lead to more reliance on cognitive control networks involving the dlPFC, thereby enhancing cTBS on eating.Objective/Hypothesis: The objective was to examine the extent to which cTBS effects on eating would be modified by contextual cues. It was hypothesized that cTBS effects on eating would be stronger in the presence of facilitating cues.Methods: Using a between-subjects factorial design, 107 adults were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: 1) active cTBS + facilitating cues, 2) sham cTBS + facilitating cues, 3) active cTBS + inhibiting cues, 4) sham cTBS + inhibiting cues. Following stimulation participants completed a flanker paradigm and a taste test during which quantity consumed was assessed surreptitiously.Results: Findings revealed a significant interaction between stimulation and cue type (F(1,102)=6.235, p=.014), such that the effects of cTBS were stronger for those in the facilitating cue condition. Conclusions:The effects of cTBS on eating are strengthened in the presence of facilitating cues.Methodologically speaking, facilitating cues may be a functional prerequisite for exploring cTBS effects on eating in the laboratory. Substantively, the findings also suggest that facilitating cues Indulgent Eating 3 in the eating environment may amplify counter-intentional food indulgence in everyday life via cognitive control failure.
