sleep/wake disorders Flashcards
REM sleep
20-25% total sleep
story-like dreams occur
NREM stage 1
5% total sleep
transition from wake to sleep
NREM stage 2
50% of total sleep
deep sleep
NREM stage 3
20% total sleep
deepest level of sleep
sleep continuity
overall balance of sleep/wakefulness during the night
sleep architecture
amount/distribution of specific sleep phases
sleep efficiency
ratio of time spent asleep to time spent in bed expressed as a percentage
generalized definition of insomnia disorder
recurrent unsatisfactory because or at least 1:
-difficulty falling asleep
-difficulty staying asleep
-early waking w/ inability to go back to sleep
occurs despite adequate opportunity for sleep
time duration of symptoms for insomnia diagnosis
at least 3 nights/week for at least 3 months
specifiers for insomnia disorder
w/ mental disorder
w/ medical condition
w/ comorbid sleep disorder
episodic
persistent
recurrent
episodic specifier for insomnia
symptoms for at least 1 month but less than 3
persistent insomnia disorder
symptoms for 3+ months
recurrent insomnia disorder
2+ episodes in a year
what counts as early morning awakening
at least 1 hour before scheduled wake time
OR
before total sleep time has reached 6.5 hours
symptoms of increased arousal r/t insomnia and generalized activation of HPA axis
increased cortisol levels
HR variability
stress reactivity
increased metabolic rate
diagnostic criteria for hypersomnolence disorder
subjective excessive sleepiness despite adequate sleep period of 7+ hours with at least one manifestation
3 manifestations (of which you must have 1) of hypersomnolence disorder
-recurrent periods of sleep/lapses into sleep in the same day
-sleep longer than 9 hours that is nonrestorative
-difficulty being fully awake after abrupt awakening
time duration for dx of hypersomnolence disorder
at least 3/wk for at least 3 months
specifiers for hypersomnolence disorder
with mental disorder
with medical condition
with comorbid sleep disorder
duration of acute hypersomnolence disorder
less than 1 month
duration of subacute hypersomnolence disorder
1-3 months
duration of persistent hypersomnolence disorder
3+ months
mild hypersomnolence disorder
trouble 1-2 days/week
moderate hypersomnolence disorder
difficulty 3-4 days/week
severe hypersomnolence disorder
difficulty 5-7 days/week
sleep inertia
impaired performance/reduced vigilance following awakening from regular sleep episode (also called sleep drunkenness)
sleep efficiecy with hypersomnolence disorder
generally fall asleep quickly with good sleep efficiency
does cataplexy ever occur in hypersomnolence disorder
no
kleine-levin syndrome
recurrent episodes of hypersomnia
general description of narcolepsy narcolepsy
recurrent need to sleep, unintentional sleep, or napping within the same day along with 1 of 3 other manifestations
duration of symptoms for narcolepsy diagnosis
at least 3 days/week for 3 months
what are the three other manifestations of narcolepsy (of which you must have 1)
cataplexy
hypocretin deficiency in CSF
polysomnographic changes
cataplexy
brief sudden bilateral low muscle tone w/ maintained consciousness precipitated by joking/laughter
polysomnographic changes possible in narcolepsy
-REM sleep latency less than/equal to 15 minutes
-mean sleep latency less than 8 minutes on multiple tests
-2+ sleep onset REM episodes
narcolepsy type 1
with cataplexy or hypocretin deficiency
narcolepsy type 2
without cataplexy
without hypocretin deficiency (or unmeasured)
