Sleep misperception in women with myofascial temporomandibular disorder.

Study Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) were linked to poor sleep on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), whereas polysomnography revealed no major sleep disturbances, implying sleep state misperception. This study investigates sleep state misperception in TMD and control participants; correlates sleep state misperception with objective short sleep duration (SSD), depression symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and orofacial pain; and compares objective SSD between the groups.

Methods: General linear models were used to compare second-night polysomnography total sleep time, sleep latency, sleep efficiency (SE), and wake after sleep onset with homologous PSQI-derived variables in 124 women with myofascial TMD and 46 age and body mass index matched controls.

The association of subjective and objective sleep measures with chronic tinnitus.

Study Objectives: Poor sleep is a prevalent complaint in the population with chronic tinnitus, but the relationship between the two is not well-characterized. The objective of this study was to understand how subjective and objective measures of sleep compare in patients with or without chronic tinnitus.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included consecutive adult patients who presented to a sleep laboratory between January 19, 2017, and January 10, 2020.

Depressive symptoms account for differences between self-reported versus polysomnographic assessment of sleep quality in women with myofascial TMD.

Patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) report poor sleep quality on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). However, polysomnographic (PSG) studies show meagre evidence of sleep disturbance on standard physiological measures. The present aim was to analyse self-reported sleep quality in TMD as a function of myofascial pain, PSG parameters and depressive symptomatology.

Continuous positive airway pressure usage in hospitalized patients with known obstructive sleep apnea: discrepancy between admission pressure settings and laboratory-determined settings.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and predictors of correctly initiated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) settings on the initial night of hospitalization in patients with known obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).

Methods: Hospital records of all patients who underwent an outpatient therapeutic polysomnogram (PSG) at our institution between January 2005 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Data collected included initial CPAP settings on hospital admission, latency to hospitalization (from sleep study), hospital length of stay, demographic variables, and PSG variables.

Polysomnographic Measurement of Sleep Duration and Bodily Pain Perception in the Sleep Heart Health Study.

Study Objectives: To determine whether total sleep time (TST) and specific sleep stage duration are associated with bodily pain perception and whether sex, age, or subjective sleepiness modifies this relationship.

Methods: Data from adults ages 39-90 y (n = 5,199) who took part in the Sleep Heart Health Study Exam 1 were analyzed. TST, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time, and slow wave sleep (SWS) time were measured by unattended, in-home nocturnal polysomnography.
