Q

What are four downsides to PSG?

A
  1. Expensive, uncomfortable, un-naturalistic
  2. First night effect - sleep differently in new environment, so PSG studies often have an ‘adaptation night’
  3. Only know what’s happening at night - daytime factors and patterns also important
  4. Sleep staging requires analysis and interpretation - tricky and time-consuming

Q

A

Wrist-worn device
Captures continuous rest-activity profile around the 24h period
Sleep is inferred through absence of movement

Q

What are four advantages of actigraphy?

A
  1. Inexpensive and more naturalistic
  2. Sample physical activity during wakefulness as well as sleep for longer durations (e.g. over few weeks)
  3. Gives data on regularity, timing and variability of sleep across days (weekdays vs weekends)
  4. Good accuracy for correctly identifying sleep when compared to PSG (90%)

Q

What are three cons of actigraphy?

A
  1. Not very good at correctly identifying when someone is awake (~50%) of time
    - misidentifies restful wake as sleep and overestimate sleep time
    - means overestimates time bad sleepers sleep for, doesn’t pick up on waking up in night
  2. Not accurate at identifying sleep stages
  3. Should be used in conjunction with sleep diary to be accurate

Q

Who are bedside sensors better at measuring sleep for instead of watches?

A

People with mental health issues - don’t have to remember to put watch on, sleep is automatically measured without them having to do anything

Q

What is chronic insomnia?

A
  • Difficulty initiating, maintaining or re-initiating sleep
  • 3 x week for at least 3 months
  • Clinically significant daytime distress or impairment
17
Q

What two approaches are common when measuring the comorbidity between psychiatric problems and insomnia?

A
  1. Rates of insomnia in different clinical populations
  2. Concurrent psychiatric diagnoses in populations with insomnia
18
Q

What % of people with the following disorders have insomnia?
1. Depression
2. Anxiety disorders
3. Schizophrenia

A
  1. 60%
  2. 70%
  3. 44%
19
Q

Insomniacs tend to underestimate and overestimate what?

A

Overestimate the amount of time it takes them to get to sleep
Underestimate the amount of time they’re asleep for

20
Q

Sleep disturbances are associated with an increased prevalence of ________?

A

Mental health disorders
However this doesn’t tell us anything about causality

21
Q

Geoffroy et al 2020 measured the amount of sleep ~36k US adults got and if they had experienced what 5 things in the last 12 months?

A
  1. Mood disorders
  2. Anxiety disorders
  3. Post-traumatic stress disorder
  4. Psychotic Disorder
  5. Suicide attempt
22
Q

In Geoffroy et al 2020, what % of people who got an average of the following hours of sleep per night had a psychiatric condition?
1. <5 hours
2. 7 hours
3. 9+ hours

A
  1. 55%
  2. 27%
  3. 48%
23
Q

What is a meta-analysis?

A

A method of combining and analysing data from many studies that address the same research question

24
Q

Results of meta-analysis are often presented in what?

A

A forest plot
Shows results of the individual studies and they overall combined result

25
Q

In forest plots, each study has an ____ size with ____ ____

A

Effect size
Confidence intervals

26
Q

What is the line of no effect on forest plots?

A

placed at the point where the effect size equals no effect

27
Q

What is meant by pooled results?

A

A summary of the effect across all the individual studies

28
Q

What does the width of the diamond in pooled results indicate?

A

The confidence interval of that estimate

29
Q

What did Baglioni et al 2016 look at?

A

A meta-analysis looking at sleep alterations as measured by PSG across a range of mental health disorders

30
Q

What two groups did Baglioni et al 2016 compare PSG metrics between?

A
  1. Healthy Controls
  2. People in a mental health disorder episode at the time of PSG recordings
31
Q

What were Baglioni et al 2016 three sleep metrics?

A
  1. Sleep continuity
  2. Sleep depth
  3. REM pressure
32
Q

What were the findings of Baglioni et al 2016?

A
  • Sleep continuity disturbances evidenced in all disorders, except for seasonal affective disorder, panic disorder and ADHD
  • The result was marginally significant for eating disorder and Asperger syndrome, although this may be due to small number of studies available for these categories
33
Q

What were the conclusions of Baglioni et al 2016?

A

Findings support the notion of transdiagnostic (i.e. across all disorders) disruptions of sleep continuity – except for ADHD

No single sleep variable alteration was specific for one single disorder BUT no two conditions had the same sleep profile
Constellations of sleep alterations may define distinct disorders better than alteration in one single variable

Sleep depth and REM sleep pressure disturbances were altered in a smaller number of disorders and occurred rarely in a single condition

Supports the idea that there are both disorder-specific and transdiagnostic alterations in sleep

34
Q

Compare PSG and Actigraphy

A

PSG offers the advantage of accurate assessment of sleep stages, but is conducted in a sleep-clinic environment for a short time
Actigraphy allows objective assessments of sleep over longer periods in the home environment & gives data on patterns and levels of activity during the day
