She found that individuals with varied health issues \u2014 from cardiovascular disease to cancer to mental health issues \u2014 would all describe a similar complaint: difficulty with their sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was struck by the interplay between various health conditions and their connection to sleep quality and disturbance,\u201d Mithani said. \u201cWe dedicate about a third of our lives to sleep, and it influences not only our daily well-being, but also our long-term health trajectories. But, despite how much we know, sleep still has a lot of mysteries.\u201d Mithani\u2019s curiosity about this mystery led her down the path of sleep disorder research.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection to connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Researching sleep is complicated, as the very nature of it makes it difficult to study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t just wake someone up in the middle of the night and ask how they\u2019re feeling or what\u2019s going on in their sleep,\u201d Mithani said.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, Mithani\u2019s research is focused on finding biomarkers of patients with sleep disorders. Her research employs a proteomic approach to understand the clinical and mechanistic presentations of sleep disorders in long-term chronic health conditions. By investigating the biomarkers, Mithani and her team examine the connections between physiological changes, the clinical symptoms of patients and the long-term impacts on their health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne significant observation among individuals with sleep disorders is their heightened risk for a range of health problems,\u201d Mithani said. Apart from experiencing difficulty sleeping, these patients often face increased risk of developing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, other mental health issues and even cognitive impairment, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mithani works closely with an interdisciplinary team to collect blood and saliva samples to study which proteins, such as neurological, immune and inflammatory proteins, are being dysregulated. She aims to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in sleep disorders like insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of layers to parse through to determine if the sleep disorder is a secondary diagnosis or the primary,\u201d she said, which is why her research looks at the biomarkers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sleep to live healthier<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recent findings in sleep research are revealing the integral role of sleep for neurocognitive functioning, Mithani noted. Quality sleep is not only necessary to be alert and functional throughout the day, but it also is critical for eliminating the neurotoxins from the brain each night. Inadequate or dysregulated sleep for prolonged periods cumulatively may lead to early presentations of neurocognitive deficits, Mithani said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is worrying because many patients share that they are not sleeping well or feel they do not sleep well,\u201d she said. On the other hand, individuals with obstructive sleep apnea, for instance, may go undiagnosed for years because they think they\u2019re sleeping fine, unaware that their sleep is disrupted. Then there are people with insomnia who know they have trouble sleeping, but they often brush it off as normal and try to ignore their symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see society now placing greater importance on sleep health, recognizing its role in overall well-being,\u201d Mithani said. \u201cIt\u2019s crucial for health care providers to advocate for sleep health, as it directly impacts not just daily lives, but also the long-term physical and mental well-being of the patients we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A new gold standard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Collaborating with her clinician colleagues, Mithani\u2019s investigation uses a personalized methodology. Along with biological samples, the research team collects information about a patient\u2019s symptoms and their particular medical history.<\/p>\n<p>Mithani examines various trends such as changes in the trajectory of sleep-related symptoms. She also studies patients who have similar experiences but different sleep presentations, medical histories or pathways that put certain individuals at higher risk, and any underlying genetic differences that are exacerbating their symptoms. All this research aims to identify patients who are likely to respond well to specific treatments for sleep disorders and assess how these treatments affect their physiological health.<\/p>\n<p>Gold standard treatments for sleep disorders, typically behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, or a combination, can vary among individuals. So, what works best for one person may not be as effective for another, Mithani noted. While these treatments are considered best practice based on general efficacy, personalized approaches are necessary for optimal outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gold standards in science and health care are not static and can evolve over time in response to new discoveries and emerging research,\u201d she said. \u201cThe dream for sleep health research would be to develop personalized interventions tailored to each person\u2019s unique sleep needs, personal history, genetics, lifestyle and environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Biobehavioral Laboratory and biobank<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3384\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3384\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3384 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/08\/biobehavioral.jpg\" alt=\"Chun-Liang Chen, PhD, (right), professor and director of the Biobehavioral Laboratory and biobank\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chun-Liang Chen, PhD, (right), professor and director of the Biobehavioral Laboratory and biobank.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/uthscsa.edu\/nursing\/research\/biobehavioral-mental-health\/laboratory-biobank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biobehavioral Laboratory<\/a> within the <a href=\"https:\/\/uthscsa.edu\/nursing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School of Nursing<\/a> offers comprehensive services for researchers in need of wet lab and behavioral suite facilities.
