Q

ICSD-3 diagnostic criteria for chronic insomnia

A

A. Difficulty initiating sleep/maintaining sleep, early waking, resistance to going to bed on
appropriate schedule, difficulty sleeping without intervention
B. As related to the nighttime sleep difficulty:
* fatigue/malaise, attention/concentration/memory impairment, impaired social/ family/ occupational/academic performance, mood disturbance/irritability, daytime sleepiness, behavioural problems (e.g. hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression), reduced motivation/energy/initiative, prone to errors/accidents, concerns about or dissatisfaction with sleep
C. Complaints not explained only by inadequate opportunity for sleep (i.e. enough time is allotted for sleep) or inadequate circumstances (i.e. the environment is safe, dark, quiet and comfortable)
D. Sleep disturbance and associated daytime symptoms occur at least three times per week
E. Sleep disturbance and associated daytime symptoms have been present for at least 3 months
F. Sleep/wake difficulty is not explained by another sleep disorder

Q

ICSD-3 diagnostic criteria for short term insomnia

A
  • Note: Four of the five criteria for short-term insomnia overlap with criteria A, B, C and F of chronic insomnia
  • Criterion (D) is specific - ‘the sleep disturbance and associated daytime
    symptoms have been present for < 3 months’

Q

what happens to sleep in Middle Aged and elderly adults

A

sleep is shallower, more fragmented, shorter in
duration with an increase in wakeful periods [Wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO)], and daytime sleepiness increases

Q

why does it take elders longer to fall asleep

A
  • normal changes in circadian rhythm–> daytime fatigue–> daytime naps–> poor
    nocturnal sleep
  • WASO and number of arousals increase with age –> may be due to
  • increased incidence of sleep-related breathing disorders, PLMs, and other physical conditions in elderly
  • easier arousal by internal and external stimuli
  • Related to a phase-advanced temperature rhythm, elders tend to retire and arise earlier
    than younger adults
  • Psychosocial alterations can disrupt zeitgebers and light exposure.
  • Napping also increases with age, but the TST per 24 hours does not change with age

Q

where do the biological clocks of the circadian rhythm exist

A

suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the
hypothalamus

  • ganglion cells in the retina illuminate and send information to SCN
  • SCN process this information and stimulate the pineal gland to release melatonin
  • melatonin increases in the evening in response to dim light and peaks around 3 hours
    before waking
  • this feedback mechanism onto the SCN supports the circadian rhythm

Q

how is the circadian oscillator entrained to a 24 hour environment

A

by zeitgebers which force the system to undergo phase shifts - of which the light-dark cycle is the most effective

  • In the absence of zeitgebers humans tend to self-select a sleep–wake cycle of about 25 hours from wake time to wake time

narcolepsy type 2

A

normal levels of hypocretin (orexin) and no episodes of cataplexy

82
Q

narcolepsy type 1 vs type 2

Q

idiopathic hypersonic (central disorder of hypersomnolence)

ICSD-3 6 criteria:

A
  1. Daytime lapses into sleep or an irrepressible need to sleep on a daily basis, for at least 3 months.
    * NOTE additional supporting features are: a) sleep drunkenness; and/or b) naps that are unrefreshing and long (greater than 1 hour)
  2. Insufficient sleep syndrome is confirmed absent, preferably with a week of wrist actigraphy
  3. MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test) shows one of the following:
    * Fewer than 2 sleep onset REM periods (SOREMPs); Or
    * No SOREMPs, if the REM latency on the preceding overnight sleep study was less than or equal to 15 minutes
  4. The presence of one or both of the following:
    * Average sleep latency of less than or equal to 8 minutes on MSLT
    * Total 24-hour sleep time is greater than or equal to 660 minutes (more typically 12-14 hours) when measured by:

172
Q

what does actigraphy measure

A
  • Uses non-invasive devices (3D accelerometer) - worn on the wrist, ankle or waist, for days to weeks

173
Q

limitations of actigraphy

A
  • It cannot access the periodic limb movements (PLM) or abnormal breathing
    patterns in insomnia–> indicates need for polysomnography
  • The recorded activity is only a proxy for sleep and is not sleep itself
  • There are a variety of devices and scoring algorithms available that limit the
    comparability between different actigraphic devices
174
Q

when to use actigraphy

A
  • Suggests using actigraphy in adults and pediatric patients with insomnia disorders, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder, suspected central disorders of hypersomnolence, sleep-disordered breathing, insufficient sleep syndrome

  • Cardiorespiratory function and movement disorders during sleep assessed by continuous monitoring of respiratory effort, nasal and oral airflow during inspiration and expiration, arterial oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, and limb electromyogram
178
Q

limitations of polysomnography

A
  • Costly and inconvenient
  • The first-night effect –> underestimating OSA due to the potential for decreased REM sleep being captured
