Abstract:
This chapter reviews the numerous reasons why critically ill patients often sleep poorly and describes the unique challenges of monitoring sleep in these patients. An inhospitable environment in the intensive care unit (ICU), care-related interruptions day and night, mechanical ventilation, numerous medications, and critical illness itself conspire to deprive these vulnerable patients of both deep NREM sleep and REM sleep. Under some conditions, sleep is so disturbed as to be almost unrecognizable by the Rechtschaffen & Kales criteria. Patients may suffer from “atypical sleep” or from “pathological wakefulness.” Patients often recall this poor sleep as one of their most stressful experiences while in the ICU. Ultimately, what may best restore good quality sleep for patients in the ICU is a multifaceted approach to creating a quiet, safe environment, combined with evidence-based management of medications, support devices, pain, and delirium and a conscious effort to set aside uninterrupted time for sleep.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the commonly observed sleep-related symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and trauma-related recurrent nightmares, are extremely common in PTSD and have long been recognized as a core feature of the condition. They appear to play an important role in the development and maintenance of PTSD symptoms; however, first-line treatments do not specifically address sleep. The discussion in this chapter focuses on both subjective reports of sleep disturbance and objectively measured sleep abnormalities. It summarizes the contemporary theoretical pathways in which sleep disturbances and abnormalities may contribute to the development and maintenance of PTSD symptomatology. It concludes with a discussion of clinically relevant sleep-related treatment considerations for patients with PTSD.

Abstract:
Sleep disturbances represent frequent distressing symptoms in the palliative care setting. The more common disorders include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The most prevalent sleep disorder, insomnia, includes difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep, waking up too early, and non-restorative or poor quality sleep. Primary sleep disturbances are thought to be a disorder of hyperarousal, while a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction has also been confirmed. Secondary sleep disorders have been associated with a large number of potential causes, both physical and psychological. Sleep disturbances in palliative care can be due to either the advanced disease and/or its treatment. Chronic medication use, neurological or psychiatric disorders, as well as environmental factors, can also present contributing factors. This chapter discusses the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disturbances, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, including cognitive behavioural therapy, the cornerstone of non-pharmacological interventions.

Abstract:
Disturbances in nocturnal sleep and their consequences during waking in Parkinson disease (PD) were recognized in 1817 by James Parkinson, who described sleep problems in his case series as follows: “His attendants observed, that of late the trembling would sometimes begin in his sleep, and increase until it awakened him: when he always was in a state of agitation and alarm.” Sleep disturbance in PD is complex, with a prevalence of up to 98%, and has been shown to be a key determinant of quality of life. Sleep disturbances in PD are heterogeneous, ranging from insomnia to drug-induced sleep disorders, and now can be assessed by simple validated bedside tools such as the Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS). Also, sleep, contrary to previous perceptions, can be disordered not just in advanced PD, but also in the pre-motor as well as the untreated states.

Abstract:
Sleep is associated with substantial changes in gastrointestinal functioning that have considerable clinical relevance Symptoms of sleep-related dysfunction are common and are primarily related to sleep-related heartburn and regurgitation. Sleep disturbances accompany several other gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sleep-related gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been shown to plan a major role in the pathogenesis of more complicated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), notably via a prolongation of acid contact. Mucosal damage has been shown to be more closely associated with this pattern of reflux in comparison with waking reflux, which is associated with more frequent but very short reflux events. Sleep disturbance is also associated with a visceral hyperalgesia that enhances pain responses associated with acid–mucosal contact. Sleep does influence intestinal motility, but further research is needed to confirm the details of exactly how intestinal motility is modulated by sleep.

Abstract:
The Chapter reviews two long standing concerns of sleep research in PTSD. The first is characterizing dysregulations of arousal that manifest in relation to sleep including disturbances of sleep initiation, maintenance, and depth. The other is characterizing nightmare disturbances in PTSD and establishing the role of the neurophysiological substrate of dreams, rapid eye movement sleep (REMS), in the disorder. While there has been uncertainty and controversy regarding these issues, a comprehensive look at findings and their context (e.g. duration of PTSD, setting of recordings) allows some reconciliation of findings. Recent developments include assessment of autonomic balance during sleep and application of functional brain imaging. Emerging research on the role of sleep, particularly REMS, on emotional learning has been linked to PTSD. Treatments specifically targeting nightmares and other sleep disruptions, such as the alpha adrenergic antagonist prazosin and imagery rehearsal therapy, continue to be developed and evaluated.

Abstract:
Sleep is a fundamental requirement for living individuals. Sleep disturbances and sleep disorders have extensive effects on the immune system, affecting one’s susceptibility to, and ability to fight off, infections—both bacterial and viral—and the subsequent development of different diseases. This is mediated by the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with sleep loss and disruption. A number of common conditions, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, all share pro-inflammatory mechanisms and the presence of sleep disturbances. Early identification of sleep disorders, and the associated adverse inflammatory and metabolic risk factors, in affected individuals would have a clear clinical benefit.

Abstract:
The architecture of healthy sleep rests upon a network of several interacting neurochemical systems, an arrangement that is easily disrupted by the experience of traumatic stress. As a result, sleep may be among the most susceptible of behaviors to have a negative impact as a result of trauma. Sleep disturbances, or “parasomnias,” such as nightmares, sleepwalking, and insomnia are one of the most prominent hallmarks of PTSD, and the study of these sleep-specific symptoms can provide a window into the underlying pathology of the disorder. The current chapter reviews the preclinical animal literature that has informed our understanding of the brain structures that are involved in the development of these parasomnias. In reviewing adult and child studies of disrupted sleep in PTSD, a distinction is made between the subjective and objective assessment of sleep quality, with a call made for an emphasis on objective measurements in future research.

Abstract:
This chapter summarizes data on sleep–wake disturbances in humans at high altitude and in space. High altitude exposure is associated with periodic breathing and a trend toward reduced slow-wave sleep and sleep efficiency in healthy individuals. Some subjects are affected by altitude-related illness (eg, acute and chronic mountain sickness, high-altitude cerebral and pulmonary edema). Several drugs are available to prevent and treat these conditions. Data about the effects of microgravity on sleep are limited and do not allow the drawing of firm conclusions. Microgravity and physical and psychological factors are responsible for sleep–wake disturbances during space travel. Space missions are associated with sleep restriction and disruption and circadian rhythm disturbances encouraging use of sleep medication. An unexplained and unexpected finding is the improvement in upper airway obstructive breathing events and snoring during space flight.

While sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in primary care populations, the patients with the highest rate of poor sleep complaints, including insomnia and nonrestorative sleep, are those with pain. In this chapter, a summary of the potential shared or interactive mechanisms underlying the coexistence of sleep and pain in chronic pain conditions is presented. Theoretical perspectives illustrating sleep–pain interactions are described, as well as the latest empirical evidence regarding sleep disruptions in the context of chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular disorders, headaches, and mild traumatic brain injury. Finally, multidimensional strategies for the co-management of sleep and pain are proposed and discussed.

Abstract:
Sleep is important for children’s physical, cognitive, and social functioning. The most common sleep disorder contributing to inadequate sleep and daytime impairments in pediatric populations is insomnia. There are both biological and behavioral factors that can contribute to insomnia; therefore, understanding sleep processes, how sleep changes throughout development, and which common behaviors influence sleep is important. Measurement of sleep through both objective and subjective measures plays an important role in the identification, diagnosis, and intervention of insomnia. First-line treatment for insomnia includes psychoeducation, healthy sleep practices, and behavioral and cognitive strategies. Children with special needs are at especially high risk for sleep problems, and treatment of insomnia in these populations should aim to minimize sleep disturbances without increasing other comorbid symptoms. Moving forward, healthcare professionals require access to more comprehensive education on pediatric sleep, and greater public awareness of the importance of sleep and health is needed.

Abstract:
Sleep is one of the key underpinnings of human health, yet sleep disturbances and impaired sleep are rampant in modern life. Healthy sleep is a whole-body process impacted by circadian rhythm, daily activities, and emotional well-being, among others. When properly aligned, these work in concert to produce restorative and refreshing sleep. When not in balance, however, sleep disorders result. Yet too often, the approach to treatment of sleep disorders is compartmentalized, failing to recognize all of the complex interactions that are involved. This text offers a comprehensive approach to sleep and sleep disorders by delineating the many factors that interplay into healthy sleep. Health care providers can learn how to better manage their patients with sleep disorders by integrating complementary and conventional approaches. Using an evidence-based approach throughout, this book describes the basics of normal sleep then delves into the foundations of integrative sleep medicine, including the circadian rhythm, mind/body-sleep connection, light, dreaming, the gastrointestinal system, and botanicals/supplements. Specific sleep issues and disorders are then addressed from an integrative perspective, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related movement disorders, and parasomnias.

Abstract:
Heart function and sleep are closely associated. While NREM sleep reduces cardiac workload, phasic REM sleep increases sympathetic activity and cardiac vulnerability. Heart failure (HF) patients suffer from disturbed sleep due to frequent awakenings, periodic limb movements, sleep apnea, and depression. Insomnia seems to be associated with incident HF, and, when comorbid, results in a vicious circle. There is much evidence of a relationship between breathing disturbances during sleep and heart diseases. At least 50% of HF patients suffer from obstructive (OSA) or central (CSA) sleep apnea, both associated with impaired prognosis. OSA is a risk factor for arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and HF. Continuous positive airway pressure devices reduce adverse cardiac events and improve outcome in severe OSA in compliant subjects. Adaptive servoventilation (ASV) is superior to other therapeutic options for CSA. However, the use of ASV is contraindicated in severe HF with reduced, but not preserved, ejection fraction.

Full text
Abstract:
The rapid development of modern society has resulted in a growing population of workers that have to work around the clock. However, working at different times comes at a cost. Night work is related to short sleep, increased fatigue, falling asleep at work, worse performance, and increased risk for injuries and accidents. Early morning work is also affected, but to a lesser extent. Working shifts can carry long-term health consequences such as an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease, endocrine and metabolic disturbances, cancer, and gastrointestinal disorders. However, the evidence is far from immaculate and there is a need for studies with better measures of exposure and more knowledge regarding why there are such large individual differences in tolerance to shift work. In addition, the negative consequences of shift work can be reduced by both organizational and individual countermeasures. The interactive effects of combining several countermeasures seem especially promising.

Abstract:
Individuals with alcohol problems have well-described disturbances of sleep, but the development of these disturbances both before and after the onset of problem drinking is poorly understood. This chapter first discusses sleep physiology and its measurement in humans. It then examines the functions of sleep and its role in development. Next, it reviews recent research on the relationship between sleep and alcohol use and related problems. Whereas sleep problems (e.g., difficulties falling or staying asleep) increase the risk of early onset of alcohol use and related problems, sleep rhythmicity promotes resilience to the development of alcohol use disorder and problem substance use. Based on existing research, this chapter proposes a theoretical model of sleep and alcohol use, highlighting the role of self-regulatory processes as mediators of this relationship.

Abstract:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) commonly occurs with several sleep disorders, including hypersomnia, breathing or limb-related sleep disturbances, and most notably chronic insomnia. A bidirectional relationship exists between sleep and mood problems, and both issues often warrant timely clinical management. However, there are several assessment- and treatment-related complexities that complicate the clinical management of such patients. For example, there are several overlapping symptoms for MDD and both insomnia and hypersomnia, and the two sleep conditions are both listed as possible symptoms in the diagnostic criteria for MDD. This has led to a well-documented problem of underrecognizing and undertreating these significant disorders in the context of MDD. Moreover, certain effective depression treatments can actually worsen the coexisting sleep disorder. Understanding and treating both disorders (i.e., MDD and the co-occurring sleep disorder) is imperative for effective clinical care. Almost all (i.e., up to 90%) of those with depression report sleep problems. This chapter provides an overview of the etiologic, assessment, and treatment issues inherent in this very large, highly prevalent group.

Abstract:
Sleep disorders are associated with several morbidities, most strongly with psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment, and impaired quality of life, as well as with increased mortality. Sleep problems are common across the lifespan from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. Physiological sleep continuity with respect to circadian rhythms is considered to be important for the maintenance of cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune function, physiological homeostasis, and psychological balance. Nowadays, it is reasonable to include sleep disturbances among the top 10 potentially modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. The links between sleep disorders and morbidity as CVD show bidirectional associations. Because these disorders are chronic, they may also have a deleterious societal impact on a patient’s employment status, ability to work, risk of accident, and health. The relationship between work performance and sleep quality is reciprocal and potentially complex. This chapter illustrates the principal sleep disorders and their relevance as indicators of health status.
