Presentation Transcript

  1. Sleep-Wake Disturbances

  2. Objectives The learner will be able to: • Name the parameters for effective assessment of sleep habits. • Discuss evidence-based interventions likely to be effective for sleep-wake disturbances.

  3. Problem/Importance of Sleep • Active behavioral state • Regulation of metabolism • Hormone production • Immune function • Memory consolidation and learning • Restorative

  4. Sleep-Wake Disturbances Alterations in nighttime sleep that result in impaired daytime function (sleepiness) need to be distinguished from primary sleep disorders that are medical diagnoses.

  5. Incidence of Sleep-Wake Disturbances in Persons With Cancer • Occur in up to 75% of cancer patients • Contributing factors • Demographic factors • Lifestyle and environmental factors • Disease-related factors • Treatment-related factors • Associated with other symptoms • Pain • Fatigue • Depression

  6. Nine Parameters for Sleep Assessment • Total sleep time • Sleep latency • Number of awakenings • Wake after sleep onset • Daytime napping • Daytime sleepiness • Quality of perceived sleep • Circadian rhythm • Sleep efficiency

  7. Clinical Assessment of Sleep • All patients should be screened for sleep-wake disturbances. • Examples of clinical screening tools • Clinical Sleep Assessment for Adults • ‘BEARS’ • B = bedtime problems • E = excessive daytime sleepiness • A = awakenings • R = regularity of sleep • S = sleep-disordered breathing

  8. Evidence-Based Interventions • Likely to be effective • Cognitive behavioral therapy • Stimulus control, sleep restriction, and sleep hygiene • Weigh benefits and harmful effects • Pharmacologic agents • Effectiveness is not established • Complementary therapies • Education • Exercise
