Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep plays a critical role in daily functioning and stroke recovery but receives little attention in stroke rehabilitation. Sleep disturbances are linked to affective and cognitive impairments, but temporal associations between sleep and affect and cognitive symptoms are less clear. Understanding these temporal associations may inform new directions in intervention and prevention to support continued stroke recovery. OBJECTIVE To examine the bidirectional temporal associations between sleep and affect and cognitive symptoms among community-dwelling stroke survivors. DESIGN A secondary analysis of a longitudinal observational study involving 7 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA), during which participants completed eight EMA surveys and a sleep diary per day. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze data. SETTING Community. PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling stroke survivors (N = 40). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES EMA measures of depressed affect, cheerful affect, and cognitive symptoms. Sleep quality and duration as measured using a sleep diary. RESULTS Between-person sleep quality was negatively associated with next-day depressed affect (B = -.16; p = .028) and positively associated with next-day cheerful affect (B = .63; p < .001). Inversely, between-person depressed affect was negatively associated with next night sleep quality (B = -.77; p = .015), and vice versa for cheerful affect (between-person: B = .45; p < .001; within-person: B = .09; p = .008). Long sleep (>9 hours) was positively associated with next-day cognitive symptoms (B = .13; p = .002), whereas cognitive symptoms were associated with a higher odds of long sleep the following night (odds ratio [OR] = 0.25; p = .047). CONCLUSIONS This study identified the bidirectional associations of sleep with affect and cognitive symptoms in the context of the everyday life of stroke survivors. The findings suggest that interventions addressing sleep quality and duration may impact affect and cognitive symptoms, and vice versa.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Self-reported perception of sleep often differs from objective sleep study measures, but factors predicting the discrepancy between self-reported and objective sleep parameters are controversial, and a comparison of laboratory vs ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) is lacking. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed PSGs conducted between 2012 and 2016. Linear regression was applied to predict the discrepancy between self-reported and objective sleep parameters (total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, using age, sex, arousal index, type of sleep disorder, and PSG type [laboratory vs ambulatory] as regressors). RESULTS A total of 303 PSGs were analyzed (49% women, median age 48 years), comprising patients with insomnia (32%), sleep-related breathing disorders (27%), sleep-related movement disorders (15%), hypersomnia/narcolepsy (14%), and parasomnias (12%). Sleep disorder was the best predictor of discrepancy between self-reported and objective total sleep time, and patients with insomnia showed higher discrepancy values compared to all other patient groups (P < .001), independent of age and PSG type (P > .05). Contributory effects for higher discrepancy values were found for lower arousal index. Patients with insomnia underestimated both total sleep time (median discrepancy: 46 minutes, P < .001) and sleep efficiency (median discrepancy: 11%, P < .001). No significant predictor for discrepancy of sleep latency was found. CONCLUSIONS Misperception of sleep duration and efficiency is common in sleep lab patients, but most prominent in insomnia, independent of age, sex, or laboratory vs ambulatory recording setting. This underlines the role of PSG in patients with a clinical diagnosis of insomnia and its use in cognitive behavioral therapy.

Abstract
Although sleep disturbance is considered a hallmark of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), objective evidence for sleep disturbance in patients with PTSD has been equivocal. The goal of the current investigation was to objectively examine sleep disturbance among women with PTSD in their home environment. Women with PTSD (n = 30) and a control group (n = 22) completed three nights of actigraphy monitoring. Results from actigraphy indicated that women with PTSD had poorer sleep efficiency, increased sleep latency, and more restless sleep. Actigraphy measures were moderately correlated with self-report sleep-log data, but were unrelated to scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The current study provides evidence that women with PTSD have objectively measured sleep disturbance in their normal environment at home. Disturbed sleep may have important implications for the health and well-being of individuals with PTSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are frequent in patients with high spinal cord lesions, and are difficult to diagnose by means of polysomnography (PSG). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE Examine the feasibility of sleep assessment by actigraph in patients with tetraplegia. SETTING A rehabilitation center in Israel. SUBJECTS Twenty-one patients with tetraplegia and 20 healthy persons. INTERVENTIONS Sleep assessment by actigraphs attached to the head and the wrist. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The actigraphic movement index (MI), total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep latency (SL), and number of awakenings (NOA). RESULTS In the control group actigraphy showed that during sleep the hand moves more than the head but that the movements were highly correlated. In patients with tetraplegia below C(5)-C(7) the hand also moved more than the head, but in patients with tetraplegia below C(4), the head moved more (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between patients with C(5)-C(7) tetraplegia and healthy controls in the sleep indices obtained by hand movements, or between patients with C(4) tetraplegia and healthy controls in the indices obtained by head movements. Control subjects and patients showed similar subjective assessment of sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS These preliminary findings support the validity of wrist actigraphy for sleep assessment in patients with C(5)-C(7) tetraplegia, and suggest that head-mounted actigraphy is a feasible alternative for sleep assessment in patients with tetraplegia below C(4). To establish these findings, further investigations are required, with a larger number of patients and comparison with PSG.

Abstract
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) commonly have poor sleep and a high reported incidence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). This study examined how the presence of SDB affected sleep stages in AD patients. Sixty-six volunteers with mild - moderate AD underwent home polysomnography. Results showed that patients with SDB spent less of the night in REM sleep than those with no SDB, but there were no differences in other sleep stages. The findings suggest that the decreased amount of REM sleep may be due to the presence of AD and SDB. Treating these patients' SDB may increase their amount of REM sleep, which may result in improved daytime functioning. Controlled trials of SDB treatment in AD are needed to answer this question.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Studies suggest that some acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) increase rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and nightmares in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) but few have studied their effect on other sleep parameters. The objective of this study was to examine differences in sleep architecture in AD patients taking different AChEIs. METHODS 76 participants (51 men, 25 women) [mean age = 78.2 years; SD = 7.7] with mild to moderate AD underwent medication history screening as well as polysomnography to determine the percentage of each sleep stage. Participants were divided into groups based on AChEI used: donepezil (n = 41), galantamine (n = 15), rivastigmine (n = 8) or no AChEI (n = 12). General univariate linear model analyses were performed. RESULTS AChEI therapy had a significant effect on the percentage of stage 1 (p = 0.01) and stage 2 (p = 0.03) sleep. Patients in the donepezil group had a significantly lower percentage of stage 1 sleep than patients in the galantamine group (mean = 17.3%, SD = 11.7 vs 29.2%, SD = 15.0, respectively; p = 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the donepezil group and the rivastigmine (mean = 25.0%, SD = 12.3) or no AChEI groups (mean = 27.6%, SD = 17.7) in this respect. No significant differences in percentage of stage 1 between other groups were seen. Patients in the donepezil group also had a significantly higher percentage of stage 2 sleep than patients in the no AChEI group (mean = 63.6%, SD = 14.4 vs 51.4%, SD = 16.9, respectively; p = 0.04), but there was no significant difference between the donepezil group and either the galantamine group (mean = 56.5%, SD = 8.7) or the rivastigmine group (mean = 59.9%, SD = 8.4). There were no significant differences between groups in terms of percentage REM sleep or other sleep parameters. CONCLUSION Subgroups of AD patients (classified according to AChEI treatment) in this study differed with respect to the amount of stage 1 and stage 2 sleep experienced, with the donepezil-treated group having the lowest percentage of stage 1 sleep and the highest percentage of stage 2 sleep. There was no significant difference in the amount of REM sleep between the groups. Our data suggest that sleep architecture may be affected by the use of donepezil in patients with AD. Although not elicited in this study because of the small sample size, there may be a class effect of AChEIs on sleep architecture. Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are needed to better understand causality and the effect of each AChEI on sleep architecture in patients with AD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the type of ophthalmic disease is predictive of sleep and wakefulness disturbances in young subjects with visual dysfunction. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS Twenty-five subjects (ages 12-20) were recruited from the Missouri School for the Blind. Twelve controls with normal sight were recruited from a residential school. METHODS Daily activity was monitored for 14 days using wrist actigraphy. Sleep and wakefulness measures were derived from actigraphy records by automated analysis. Visually impaired subjects were prospectively stratified by presence or absence of optic nerve disease. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Daytime napping and regularity of awakening time (wake-up time instability). RESULTS Subjects with optic nerve disease napped in the daytime significantly more than other visually impaired children or normal sighted controls: 28.1+/-4.0 minutes per day (mean +/- standard error) versus 11.9+/-2.4 minutes per day in equally visually impaired subjects with intact optic nerve function versus 6.2+/-2.2 minutes per day in subjects with normal sight (P<0.0001). These subjects also showed significantly more variable awakening times than the other groups. Logistic regression revealed that subjects with optic nerve disease are 9.1 times more likely to demonstrate daily napping of more than 20 minutes per day than equally blind subjects without optic nerve disease (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.4-58.7, P = 0.02). Blind subjects with optic nerve disease are 21.3 times more likely than children with normal sight to nap more than 20 minutes on average per day (95% CI = 1.2-378, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Optic nerve disease is predictive of increased daytime napping in young visually impaired subjects, suggesting that the nature and presence of ophthalmic disease affect the probability of concomitant sleep timing disorders.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the hangover effects of night-time administration of triazolam (0.25 mg), flunitrazepam (1 mg) and quazepam (15 mg) in healthy subjects. Daytime sleepiness and performance level following the night-time administration of the drugs were assessed using Standford Sleepiness Scale (SSS), Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ), Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), actigraphy recordings and Continuous Performance Test (CPT). Fifteen healthy volunteers were given one of the three hypnotics at each drug session, which lasted for 1 week, in a single-blind cross-over fashion. No significant between-drug difference was observed for the psychomotor performance assessed by CPT. Subjective hangover effects assessed by SSS and SEQ in the morning were prominent for flunitrazepam and quazepam relative to triazolam, whereas objective indices such as MSLT or activity counts obtained in actigraphy indicated a marked hangover effect of quazepam compared with the other two compounds restrictively in the afternoon, which were nearly in accordance with their pharmacokinetic profiles.

Abstract
An automated method for electrocardiogram (ECG)-artifact detection and elimination is proposed for application to a single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) without a separate ECG channel for reference. The method is based on three characteristics of ECG artifacts: the spike-like property, the periodicity and the lack of correlation with the EEG. The method involves a two-step process: ECG artifact detection using the energy interval histogram (EIH) method and ECG artifact elimination using a modification of ensemble average subtraction. We applied a smoothed nonlinear energy operator to the contaminated EEG, which significantly emphasized the ECG artifacts compared with the background EEG. The EIH method was initially proposed to estimate the rate of false positives (FPs) and false negatives (FNs) that were necessary to determine the optimal threshold for the detection of the ECG artifact. As a postprocessing step, we used two types of threshold adjusting algorithms that were based on the periodicity of the ECG R-peaks. The technique was applied to four whole-night sleep EEG recordings from four subjects with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, from which a total of 132878 heartbeats were monitored over 31.8 h. We found that ECG artifacts were successfully detected and eliminated with FP = 0.017 and FN = 0.074 for the epochs where the elimination process is necessarily required.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a disease of increasing importance because of its neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae. Abnormalities in the anatomy of the pharynx, the physiology of the upper airway muscle dilator, and the stability of ventilatory control are important causes of repetitive pharyngeal collapse during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnoea can be diagnosed on the basis of characteristic history (snoring, daytime sleepiness) and physical examination (increased neck circumference), but overnight polysomnography is needed to confirm presence of the disorder. Repetitive pharyngeal collapse causes recurrent arousals from sleep, leading to sleepiness and increased risk of motor vehicle and occupational accidents. The surges in hypoxaemia, hypercapnia, and catecholamine associated with this disorder have now been implicated in development of hypertension, but the association between obstructive sleep apnoea and myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure is not proven. Continuous positive airway pressure, the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnoea, reduces sleepiness and improves hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The hallmark symptom of fibromyalgia (FM) is widespread chronic pain, but most patients are also impaired due to fatigue and sleep disturbance, and there is a strong association with depression. We compared levels of activity and sleep patterns in FM patients, with and without comorbid depression, to those of normal healthy controls and depressed patients. METHODS Actigraphy was carried out on 16 patients with uncomplicated FM, 6 FM patients with comorbid depression, 9 patients with recurrent major depression, and 28 healthy controls over a period of 5-7 days. The means of daytime activity levels, nighttime activity levels, and percentage time spent asleep during the daytime and nighttime were calculated and compared. RESULTS Controls showed high levels of activity during the day and uninterrupted periods of sleep at night. Patients with FM alone showed similar levels of daytime activity, but disturbed sleep with significantly increased levels of activity at night compared to normal controls. Patients with depression alone also showed disturbed sleep compared to normal controls. However, patients with FM and comorbid depression showed the most impairment, with significantly reduced daytime activity and significantly increased daytime sleeping compared to controls, as well as more sleep interruption and movement during the night. CONCLUSION Actigraphy is a useful means of studying activity levels and sleep patterns and demonstrated significant differences between FM patients with and without comorbid depression.

Abstract
Muscular temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common stress-related condition showing marked comorbidity with depression and fibromyalgia (FM), both of which are associated with dysregulation of cortisol secretion. We measured cortisol levels in 15 women with well-defined TMD and 15 matched controls by sampling blood at 10-minute intervals over 24 hours in a controlled environment. TMD patients showed markedly increased daytime cortisol levels 30% to 50% higher than those of controls (p = 0.0032) and a one-hour phase delay in the timing of maximum cortisol levels (p = 0.048). Increased activation of the stress hormone axis by conscious pain perception is a likely explanation, but the magnitude of the increase could indicate that pain in the facial region acts as a greater stimulus than pain elsewhere in the body.

Abstract
In the last years, actigraphy has been used more often for clinical research and research evaluation of sleep disorders. Compared to polysomnography, actigraphy is cheap and less time-consuming. Actigraphy provides more objective information about sleep than sleep logs. Although the algorithms to score sleep and wake based on motions measured by actigraphy are still being improved, we believe that the role of actigraphy in the clinical evaluation of sleep in insomnia is limited. Instead of using actigraphy to distinguish a wakeful state from sleep in insomnia, we might better use the activity plots which the actigraph provides to get more insight into the physiological hyperarousal or restfulness of insomnia patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A component of social skills is the ability to adapt to the social rhythms of the environment. Patients with schizophrenia are often disabled in this adaptation. Thus, structuring activities throughout the day has long been known as part of psychosocial treatments. Actigraphy as a tool to measure acitvity and circadian rhythms may even serve as an indicator for the day-structuring of schizophrenic patients. METHOD Actigraphy was used in a patient with affective disorder and one with chronic schizophrenia for more than 2 weeks. RESULTS In comparison to a regular 24-hour rest-activity cycle in a depressed patient, the actigraph of the patient with schizophrenia presents active phases at night, irregular activity levels at day and signs of a delayed-sleep-phase syndrome. CONCLUSION Actigraphy could serve as a tool to investigate activity levels and circadian rest-activity phases, even in schizophrenia. There may be some further benefit of actigraphy as a tool in psychosocial treatments.

A total of 103 patients referred for investigation of SAS underwent two full polysomnographies, using the portable Minisomno device at home and the Respisomnographe in the laboratory (both devices manufactured by the same company). Twenty percent of home-studied device polysomnography (HoSD-PSG) recordings and 5% of LabPSG recordings were excluded from analysis either because of lost data or poor quality data. Sleep stage distribution and subjective quality of sleep were similar by both methods. Using LabPSG, the mean (+/- SD) RDI was 25.7 (+/- 30.6) versus 22.8 (+/- 31.5) using HoSD-PSG (p > 0.05). Absolute differences between the home and laboratory respiratory disturbance index (RDI) were less than 10 for 65% of patients. Discordant RDIs (i.e., differences greater than 10) were observed for 63% of individuals with severe SAS (RDI > 30) versus 22% of those with normal or moderate SAS (RDI </= 30) (p < 0.05). Higher RDI differences were associated with poor airflow signal at home. Forty-seven percent of patients preferred LabPSG. Our results suggest that HoSD-PSG was not feasible for 33% of patients; there was no evidence of a better quality of sleep and recording tolerance at home; the reliability of HoSD-PSG for SAS diagnosis depends on the quality of data obtained under unattended conditions.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing consists of a spectrum ranging from the upper airway resistance syndrome to complete apnea. Although this disorder is relatively common, it is still under-recognized, resulting in a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. This article describes the rationale for treating this disorder. Then, using the best available evidence, develops a systemic approach to the problem, covering recognition, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
A medium-sized portable digital recorder with fully integrated circuit (IC) memories for sleep monitoring has been developed. It has five amplifiers for EEG, EMG, EOG, ECG, and a signal of body acceleration or respiration sound, four event markers, an 8 ch A/D converter, a digital signal processor (DSP), 192 Mbytes IC flash memories, and batteries. The whole system weighs 1200 g including batteries and is put into a small bag worn on the subject's waist or carried in their hand. The sampling rate for each input channel is programmable through the DSP. This apparatus is valuable for continuously monitoring the states of sleep-wakefulness over 24 h, making a night-day-night recording possible in a hospital, home, or car.

Abstract
The etiology of sleep disordered breathing is collapse or obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. This obstruction may be localized to one or two areas or may encompass the entire upper airway passages to include the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx. The presurgical evaluation, which includes polysomnography, a comprehensive head and neck physical examination, fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy, and lateral cephalometric analysis is essential in directing surgical therapy in a site specific approach. The surgical procedures available to address hypopharyngeal and base of the tongue collapse include inferior sagittal mandibular osteotomy and gengioglossus advancement, hyoid myotomy and suspension, laser midline glossectomy, lingualplasty, partial glossectomy, and maxillomandibular advancement surgery. The Riley-Powell-Stanford Surgical Protocol has proven to be an effective and safe method for controlling upper airway collapse in sleep disordered breathing.

Abstract
Disorders of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) constitute a major health hazard, since impaired alertness may lead to accidents and poor quality of life, and some of them are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Many disorders of EDS are neurological diseases (e.g. narcolepsy and periodic limb movements in sleep, PLMS). The largest group of disorders causing EDS consists of sleep-related disturbances of breathing, where neuroregulatory mechanisms play a major role in pathophysiology. Many patients with neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases suffer from sleep disturbances associated with EDS. Therefore, neurologists must be acquainted with the differential diagnosis of EDS and the major categories of sleep disorders causing it. The present update focuses on major sleep disorders causing EDS, and approaches the topic from the neurologist's perspective. Rather than being an extensive review, this update includes recent data on epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and related conditions (increased upper airway resistance syndrome, central sleep apnea), as well as of narcolepsy and PLMS. Also included are recent data concerning EDS in neurodegenerative (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy) and neuromuscular disorders.
