Sleep and indoor air quality: an exploratory polysomnographic evaluation of pot...
Belo, Joana; Meira e Cruz, Miguel; Viegas, Carla; Lage, Joana; Almeida, Susana Marta; Cabo Verde, Sandra; Alves, Célia; Canha, NunoThis exploratory pilot study examines the potential impact of indoor environmental exposures on sleep quality, with a particular focus on a comprehensive characterization of indoor air quality (IAQ) parameters and their association with sleep architecture assessed through polysomnography. The study was conducted during the cold seasons of 2016 and 2017 with a small sample of 10 subjects from the urban area of L...
Interactions between Insomnia, Sleep Disordered Breathing and Cardiometabolic R...
Meira e Cruz, Miguel; Gozal, David; Salles, Cristina; Rocha, Isabel; Ettlin, DominikThe existence of intersected pathways between the mechanisms of insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing and persistent/chronic pain has been documented. Such concurrence will eventually contribute to a higher burden of cardiometabolic diseases, a main cause of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions between insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, cardiometabolic risk, and psychosocial...
Integrating sleep-related breathing disorders and epigenetics into the genetic ...
Perdigoto, Susana; De Pedro, Miguel; Meira e Cruz, MiguelRecent advances in psychiatric genetics have underscored the role of polygenic scores (PGSs) in shaping sleep phenotypes in individuals with psychotic disorders. The study by Cederlöf et al. (Reference Cederlöf, Holm, Kämpe, Ahola-Olli, Kantojärvi, Lähteenvuo and Paunio2025) makes an important contribution by leveraging genome-wide association data to disentangle the complex interplay between genetic liability ...
Sleep disturbance as a common pathway in painful temporomandibular disorders an...
Meira e Cruz, MiguelThe recent study by Exposto et al. (2025), published in the European Journal of Pain, sheds light on the significant prevalence of painful temporomandibular disorders (p-TMD) and their overlap with primary headaches among young adults in Denmark. With 26.4% of participants reporting p-TMD and more than 80% of these also experiencing recurrent headaches, the findings underscore a widespread burden of comorbid pa...

Self-perception of sleep quality and indoor air quality: preliminary findings f...
Espingardeiro, Cláudia; Ricardo, Mariana; Satiro, Francisco; Gonçalves, Sara; Fonseca, Virgínia; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Carolino, ElisabeteSleep plays an important role in essential body functions, individuals’ welfare, health, and daily productivity. Sleep structure is vulnerable to several features that include both pathophysiology processes and environmental influences. Typically, sleeping environments are characterized by low ventilation rates, leading to pollutant accumulation. Adding to this, the breathing zone is very close to potential sou...

Scientists against war: a plea to world leaders for better governance
Pandi-Perumal, Seithikurippu R.; Kumar, Velayudhan Mohan; Pandian, Namasivayam Ganesh; de Jong, Joop T.; Andiappan, Sudalaikannu; Corlateanu, AlexandruThe current Russian war against Ukraine is of global concern. It builds on the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and subsequently the war in the Donbas region of Ukraine, and has become a large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine from three directions, Crimea in the south, Russia in the east, and Belarus in the north. Despite the geopolitical background that, in the eyes of Russia, justifes its annexation of regions i...
Cronobiological and sleep related aspects associated to Neurodevelopment and ac...
Meira e Cruz, Miguel; Dubourg, FernandaBiological rhythms and sleep as their main representative are relevant biofunctional factors to the neuro-cognitive and behavioral development with particular interest in pediatric domain. Some aspects associated to central nervous system and higher function homeostasis, like social-afective equilibrium, critical judgement and memories consolidations and learning, have, in this phase of life, a relationship wit...
Insomnia symptoms, fatigue, and future job exit in American older adults : woul...
Salles, Cristina; Gonzaga, Lucas; Meira e Cruz, MiguelWe have read with great interest the recent findings from the study by Sagherian et al. regarding insomnia symptoms, fatigue, and their relationship with future job exit in older people. This study provides a rationale underlying the evidence of an alarmingly large number of patients in this age group using sleep‐inducing drugs over a long period. Other studies have shown how such a hazardous approach in the el...
