Self-perception of indoor air quality during sleep: preliminary findings from H...
Araújo Gonçalves, Sara; Belo, Joana; Lage, Joana; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Carolino, Elisabete; Mendez, Sergio; Cruz, Miguel Meira e; Canha, NunoIntroduction: Building occupants' comfort and health have been enhanced by Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). This concept has drawn increased attention in recent decades from the international scientific community, political institutions, and environmental governance. Additionally, the traditional methods for assessing indoor air quality(IAQ)are intended to reduce and control indoor air pollutants without considering t...
Insomnia and sleep apnea: would indoor environment change the picture?
Belo, Joana; Araújo Gonçalves, Sara; Gonçalves, Sara; Lage, Joana; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Carolino, Elisabete; Mendez, Sergio; Canha, NunoIntroduction: Sleep is essential for overall health and well-being, impacting several dimensions from cognitive impairment to cardiometabolic risk. Yet, many individuals struggle with sleep-related issues such as sleep apnea, and insomnia, often without realizing that the indoor environment may be a contributing factor. The present data concerns the preliminary results from one of the tasks of the HypnosAirStud...

Slow-wave sleep and androgens : selective slow-wave sleep suppression affects t...
Ukraintseva, Yu.V.; Liaukovich, K.M.; Polishchuk, А.A.; Martynova, О.V.; Belov, D.A.; Simenel, E.S.; Cruz, Miguel Meira e; Nizhnik, А.N.Objectives: Levels of steroid hormones such as androgens and cortisol exhibit circadian variation, and their fluctuations are related to the sleep-wake cycle. Currently, the functional role of different stages of sleep in steroid hormone secretion remains unclear. The present study aims to explore the effect of slow-wave sleep (SWS) suppression on morning levels of cortisol and androgens. Methods: Twelve health...
Sexsomnia and REM : predominant obstructive sleep apnea effectively treated wit...
Cruz, Miguel Meira e; Soca, RodolfoParasomnias with sexual behavior or sexsomnias are considered a subtype of NREM parasomnias. Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSAH) has been described as a known triggering factor for parasomnias including sexsomnia. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been the standard of treatment for OSAH but mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are becoming an important treatment alternative. We present t...
