SLEEP-WAKE DISORDERS Flashcards
(56 cards)
this diagnostic class is characterized by complaints of dissatisfaction regarding quality, timing and amount of sleep
Sleep-Wake Disorders
this disorder is characterized by an inability to fall asleep or remain asleep
Waking-up not feeling restored or refreshed
INSOMNIA DISORDER
this type of insomnia involves difficulty initiating sleep
sleep-onset/initial insomnia
what are the 3 types of insomnia?
onset
maintenance
termination
how frequent should the hypersomnolence be?
3 TIMES A WEEK FOR 3 MONTHS
this type of insomnia involves difficulty maintaining sleep
sleep maintenance/middle insomnia
this type of insomnia involves early-morning awakening with inability to return to sleep
termination insomnia
how frequent and present should the sleep difficulty be for insomnia?
3 nights per week for at least 3 months
this disorder is characterized by self-reported excessive sleepiness despite main sleep period of at least 7 HOURS
non-restorative sleep
confusional arousal during awakening
Hypersomnolence Disorder
how frequent should narcolepsy be?
3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS
this disorder is characterized by recurrent daytime naps or lapses into sleep, may be accompanied by cataplexy, hypocretin deficiency or REM sleep latency less than or equal to 15 min
Narcolepsy
this term refers to a neuropeptide that plays a crucial role in regulating sleep-wake cycles, appetite, and energy expenditure
Hypocretin
what are the disorders classified as BREATHING-RELATED SLEEP DISORDERS?
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Central Sleep Apnea
- Sleep-related hypoventilation
this disorder is characterized by polysomnographic evidence of decreased respiration associated with elevated CO2 levels
Sleep-Related Hypoventilation
this disorder is characterized by polysomnographic evidence of at least 5 obstructive apneas or hypopneas per hour of sleep accompanied by either nocturnal breathing disturbances or daytime sleepiness, fatigue or unrefreshing sleep
caused by obstructions in the upper airway that restrict oxygen to the body
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea
this disorder is characterized by polysomnographic evidence of at least 5 central apneas per hour of sleep
occurs when the brain’s area that controls your breathing does not function correctly during sleep
Central Sleep Apnea
what are apneas?
- pause in breathing
>90% drop in airflow for 10 seconds
>3% oxygen desaturation
what are hypopneas?
- abnormally slow or shallow breathing
> 30% drop in airflow for 10 seconds
> 3% oxygen desaturation
what causes CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA?
- problems that affect the brainstem
- severe obesity
- certain medicines
how long should the main sleep period last in hypersomnolence?
at least 7 hours
what is the difference between hypersomnia and hypersomnolence?
hypersomnia refers to excessive amounts of sleep while hypersomnolence refers to excessive sleepiness
this term refers to short attacks triggered by varying conditions such as eating large meals, moments of high stress or tension, or being awake for more than 4 hours
sleep attacks
what are the severity specifiers for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea?
mild: apnea hypopnea index is less than 15
moderate: apnea hypopnea index is 15-30
severe: apnea hypopnea index is greater than 30
