Normal Sleep Put your thoughts to sleep,do not let them cast a shadowover the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking. ……...Rumi Sleep is essential for physical, emotional and mental health
Functions of Sleep • We learned more about sleep functions when we don’t sleep • Emotional Integration, Memory Consolidation & REM sleep • Link between REM sleep and PTSD and other psychiatric disorders ……………..From Sigmund Freud to current status Glymphatics • Glial channels carrying CSF expand by 60% during sleep • Clean-up of any unwanted substances/ by products 2X more efficient • Implications in Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and dementia • Shift-workers pre-disposition to neurological disorders
Medication and Sleep • Hypnotics and sedatives (benzo and non-benzo • OCD insomnia medications • Stimulants: Caffeine, Ritalin, Modafinil) • Adverse effects of commonly used medicine on sleep & Breathing : • Opioids: Center Sleep Apnea, Respiratory arrest • beta blockers: Melatonin and Insomnia • Alcohol: Most commonly used hypnotic , adverse effect on sleep • Caffeine: The most commonly used stimulant, effect on sleep and alertness.

Magnitude of the Sleep Disorders Underserved & Under-recognized Discipline 50-60 million American suffer from 80 identified sleep disorders Sleep and Cardio-Vascular Disorders 51% of CHF patients has underlying sleep-breathing disorder OSA is an independent risk factor for hypertension. 30-40% patients with hypertension has OSA Mood Disorders and Sleep, PTSD, ADHD 70% of Patients with mood disorders has sleep pathology Neurological Conditions Sleep disturbance& fatigue are hallmark of MS, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Narcolepsy, Sleep Waking Disorders Sleep Deprivation Challenger Tragedy, >100,000 road accidents annually Circadian Rhythm Shift Work, Delayed Phase Syndrome
Sleep Public Health Challenges : Sleep Deprivation, Shift Work, Under Diagnosis of Sleep Disorders :
Federal Crash Statistics The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates • 100,000 police-report crashes annually • 1,550 fatalities (4%) • 71,000 injuries • $12.5 billion in monetary losses (Knipling 1995) • Another 1 million crashes are linked to inattention, which increases with fatigue (Wang 1996)
Sleep Disorders Case Presentation: A: Snoring & Obstructive Sleep Apnea B: Circadian Rhythm Sleep Problems: Shift Work, Night Owl Syndrome Jet Lag C: Insomnia D: Narcolepsy and other Hypersomnolence Disorders E: Restless Leg Syndrome What we are dealing with here, are two gigantic problems for our society – An epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorders; and pervasive sleep deprivation with all its consequences for errors, accidents, disability, damages and death“

Prevalence of Sleep ApneaNo sound epidemiological survey in general population using true random sample and had PSG • Wisconsin: Survey 3513-- 625 Accepted with 25% non snorersparticipants, age 30-60 underwent overnight PSG; • OSAS definition: AHI>5 with hyper somnolence • Ages 50-60 with RDI >15: 4% Women, 9.1% men • Peak Prevalence: 4.7%, Age: 45-64 • Neck Size is more correlated to severity of apnea than BMI • 10% increase//Decrease in weight: 32% increase in AHI, 24% decrease • Age: SHHS: 20% Men, 10% women develop SA in 5 years, • 48% CHF patients have sleep Apnea, • Sleep Apnea incidence is far higher in patients with resistant hypertension, A -Fib, Diabetes T Young, NEJM 1993; 328:1230-5

STOP-BANGA simple screening tool for Sleep Apnea Snoring • Do you snore loudly (louder than talking or loud enough to be heard through closed doors)? Tired • Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during daytime? Observed • Has anyone observed you stop breathing during your sleep? Pressure • Do you have or are you being treated for high blood pressure? BMI • BMI more than 35 kg/m2 Age • Age over 50 yr old? Neck circumference • Neck circumference greater than 40 cm , 15.7 inches? Gender • Gender male? High Risk STOP: Yes to 2 or More STOP BANG: Yes to 3 or more
Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to feeling just tired? This refers to your way of life in recent times. Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you. Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation 0 = would never dose; 1 = slight chance of dozing2 = moderate chance of dozing; 3 = high chance of dozing SituationChance of Dozing (0-3) Sitting and readingWatching TVSitting, inactive in a public place (eg, a theater or a meeting)As a passenger in a car for an hour without a breakLying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permitSitting and talking to someoneSitting quietly after a lunch without alcoholIn a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic Mitler and Miller. Behav Med. 1996;21:171.
Consequences of OSALongitudinal Findings- Sleep Health Heart Study6441 Patients • Direct Cardiovascular Outcomes between 5 and 8.7 years • Hyperextension, Stroke, CHF . • Increased risk of Hypertension if higher BMI in men • With cardiovascular disease larger increases in AHI • Long Term Outcomes • Positive association between severity of SDB at PSG 1 and subsequent increase in BMI • Men more likely to have an increase in RDI with increase in weight than women • Both men and women had a greater increase in RDI with weight gain than a decrease in RDI with weight loss • Severe SDB showed increased risk of all-cause mortality in the 8.7 years following PSG

Types of Sleep StudiesHome Sleep Testing ( HST) Type 1 – Attended in-lab polysomnography Type 2 – Comprehensive portable polysomnography – Minimum of 7 channels including EEG, EOG, chin EMG, ECG/HR, airflow, respiratory effort and O2 saturation HST: Type 3 – Modified portable sleep apnea testing – Minimum of 4 channels including ECG/HR, O2 saturation and at least 2 channels of respiratory movement or respiratory movement and airflow Type 4 – Continuous single or dual bioparameters – For example, airflow and/or O2 saturation
Emergent OSA Therapy • Weight Loss • CPAP • New PAP Modalities • Correction of enlarged tonsils, Sinuses, UA surgery • Oral Advancement Therapy • Implantable Neuro-stimulator • Provent: PEEP Mechanisms CPAP is the most effective but compliance is the key issue
Circadian Sleep Disorders • Wake • During the day, SCN activity promotes arousal • Maintains state of wakefulness • Sleep • At night, SCN arousal is attenuated • Allows normal sleep to occur SCN plays a pivotal role in maintaining wakefulness by generating an “alerting signal” that opposes the homeostatic sleep drive. During the evening, the alerting signal is thought to be attenuated, in part via elevation in melatonin concentration during the night, allowing sleep to occur

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSD) • “The essential feature of CRSDs is a persistent or recurrent pattern of sleep disturbance due primarily to alterations in the circadian timekeeping system or a misalignment between the endogenous circadian rhythm and exogenous factors that affect the timing or duration of sleep.” – ICSD-2. 6 Distinct CRSDs are recognized in the ICSD-2: • Delayed Sleep Phase Type (DSPD) • Advanced Sleep Phase Type (ASPD) • Irregular Sleep-Wake Phase Type (ISWR) • Free-Running Type (FRD) • Jet Lag Type (JLD) • Shift Work Type (SWD)
Treatment- CRSD • Planned napping • Timed light exposure • Administration of melatonin • Enhance Alertness • Hypnotic medications
Insomnia • Insomnia is common and can have serious consequences, such as increased risk of depression and hypertension • Acute and chronic insomnia require different management approaches • Chronic insomnia is unlikely to spontaneously remit, and over time will be characterized by cycles of relapse and remission or persistent symptoms • Chronic insomnia is best managed using non-drug strategies and adjunctive use of medications
Insomnia A symptom of either difficulty in falling asleep maintaining sleep or just sense of having insufficientsleep, causing an uncomfortable subjective experience, in some ways analogous to chronic pain 30% general population experience insomnia Most of the patients patients with mood disorders has sleep pathology Psychiatric disorders are the single largest cause of chronic insomnia in sleep-clinic population
