Abstract

Insomnia is a common source of distress in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two characteristics of ASD could be relevant to insomnia complaints by hampering the entrainment of a circadian sleep-wake rhythm. First, sensory hyper-reactivity could lead to bright light avoidance and thus affect photoperiodic input to the circadian system. Second, impaired social skills complicate the establishment of a social interactions and thus affect scheduled social-behavioral input to the circadian system. We investigated the association of insomnia severity with sensory reactivity and social skills in 631 adults (18-65 years) with ASD. Results revealed positive associations of insomnia severity with general and visual sensory hyper-reactivity and with impairment of social skills. The findings warrant further studies which (1) directly assess whether a suboptimal functioning of the biological clock underlies these associations and (2) identify other factors that could contribute to observed sleep problems., Author(s): Vanessa D.

Gammack (a)(b) Keywords: Sleep; Elderly; Insomnia Abstract: Insomnia is a prevalent problem in late life. Sleep problems in the elderly are often mistakenly considered a normal part of aging. Insomnia, the most common sleep disorder, is a subjective report of insufficient or nonrestorative sleep despite adequate opportunity to sleep. Despite the fact that more than 50% of elderly people have insomnia, it is typically undertreated, and nonpharmacologic interventions are underused by health care practitioners. This article will review the causes of insomnia in the elderly, the approach to patient evaluation, and the nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment of insomnia.

Abstract

* Background.--Insomnia is a common complaint both in the general population and also in physician's offices. However, risk factors for the development of insomnia complaints have not been completely identified. Methods.--To identify population characteristics associated with increased prevalence of insomnia complaints, we surveyed a large general adult population in 1984 through 1985. We evaluated the relationship among current complaints of initiating and maintaining sleep and obesity, snoring, concomitant health problems, socioeconomic status, and documented complaints of difficulty with insomnia 10 to 12 years previously. Results.--The strongest risk factor for complaints of initiating and maintaining sleep was previous complaints of insomnia (odds ratio, 3.5). In addition, female gender (odds ratio, 1.5), advancing age (odds ratio, 1.3), snoring (odds ratio, 1.3), and multiple types of concomitant health problems (odds ratios, 1.1 to 1.7) were all risk factors associated with an increased rate of complaints of initiating and maintaining sleep. Conclusion.--Complaints of insomnia tend to be a persistent or recurrent problem over long periods of time. Female gender, advancing age, and concomitant health problems also are important risk factors. (Arch Intern Med 1992;152:1634-1637)

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation in the middle- aged population. Furthermore, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is much higher in the elderly then in the middle-aged population. However, in the elderly, the effect of obstructive sleep apnea on atrial fibrillation is not clear due to the nonspecific presentation of obstructive sleep apnea, lack of awareness of the condition among physicians, and subsequent underdiagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea | atrial fibrillation | obesity | elderly, Introduction The role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in atrial fibrillation (AF) has been established by numerous studies in the past two decades.

Abstract

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder characterized by the inability to fall asleep and or the inability to remain asleep for a reasonable amount of time. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or 'rest their mind' for more than a few minutes at a time. In oncology more than 50% of patients suffer from sleep disturbances. Insomnia can lead to fatigue and perhaps have a very severe impact on quality of life and disease course. There are various causes of insomnia in cancer patients and goal of treatment should first be to relieve any underlying pathology. Treatment should be multimodal including both non pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. A systematic plan should be laid out so that in addition to disease process, physician or oncology nurses should pay attention to other related psychosocial factors as well which have been found to precipitate lot of symptoms., Definition Insomnia in general is described as a sleeping disorder in which patient has inability to fall asleep and or the inability to remain asleep for a reasonable amount of [...]
