24-hour care: work and sleep conditions of migrant Filipino live-in caregivers in Los Angeles.
The authors examined sleeping conditions and outcomes for live-in formal caregivers. They found that caregivers rated sleep quality as lower while at work and that over 40% reported excessive daytime sleepiness. They concluded that impacts on sleep quality pose risks for work-related injury and errors in patient care.

Perceived effectiveness, self-efficacy, and social support for oral appliance therapy among older veterans with obstructive sleep apnea.
Adherence to oral appliance therapy may be influenced by patients' perceived effectiveness of the therapy, self-efficacy, and availability of social support. The researchers examined these perceptions among older adults with obstructive sleep apnea who were prescribed oral appliance therapy. They concluded that only about one third of older adults perceived it as an effective treatment, were confident about oral appliance use, and/or believed that they would receive needed support.

Pharmacologic treatment of insomnia disorder: an evidence report for a clinical practice guideline by the American College of Physicians.
The researchers assessed the benefits, harms, and comparative effectiveness of pharmacologic treatments for adults with insomnia disorder. Their review concluded that eszopiclone, zolpidem, and suvorexant may improve short-term global and sleep outcomes for adults with insomnia disorder, but the comparative effectiveness and long-term efficacy of pharmacotherapies for insomnia are not known.

Zolpidem use and motor vehicle collisions in older drivers.
The association between current use of zolpidem-containing medications and motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) was evaluated among drivers of advanced age. Current zolpidem users, specifically women and individuals aged 80 years or more, had higher MVC rates than nonusers. Practitioners should consider behavioral treatment before initiating low doses of zolpidem.

An official American Thoracic Society workshop report. A framework for addressing multimorbidity in clinical practice guidelines for pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders.
The American Thoracic Society convened a workshop to establish a strategy to address multimorbidity within clinical practice guidelines. This report describes a framework that addresses multimorbidity in each of the key steps of guideline development: topic selection, panel composition, identifying clinical questions, searching for and synthesizing evidence, rating the quality of that evidence, summarizing benefits and harms, formulating recommendations, and rating the strength of the recommendations.

Association between childhood eczema and headaches: an analysis of 19 US population-based studies.
The researchers sought to determine whether childhood eczema is associated with increased headaches and whether such association is related to fatigue or sleep disturbance. After analyzing national survey data from 401,002 children and adolescents, they found that eczema is associated with increased headaches in childhood, particularly in patients with severe disease accompanied by atopy, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
