Similar to the interactions between sleep and neurodegenerative conditions, there is increasing evidence for bi-directional relationships between delirium and sleep disorders and disturbances. This presentation will provide an overview of the literature on those relationships, including discussion of the well-characterized changes in sleep that occur in individuals experiencing delirium.

Purpose: Numerous studies have identified a correlation between sleep and delirium; however, the causal relationship remains ambiguous. This bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to examine the possible causal relationships between sleep traits and delirium.

Patients And Methods: Utilizing genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we identified ten sleep traits: chronotype, sleep duration, short sleep duration, long sleep duration, daytime napping, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, number of sleep episodes (NSE), sleep efficiency, and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD).
