Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but are often under-recognized. The most common sleep disturbances in people with CKD include insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and periodic limb movement disorder. The presence of sleep disorders in CKD can further worsen the burden of high morbidity and mortality in a patient population with already high mortality rates. The detection and management of sleep disorders in patients with CKD are often challenging since the classic symptoms of sleep disorders (poor concentration, daytime sleepiness, and insomnia) overlap with CKD symptomatology. The treatment of one symptom may have a negative impact on others; hence treatment of these disorders is challenging and may need to be individualized and modified based on the response to treatment and the development of adverse effects. However, treatment of sleep disorders may have significant clinical benefits leading to improved health-related quality of life. This article presents an overview of sleep disorders in patients with CKD, with emphasis on relevant pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Relationship between sleep variables and interoceptive awareness in daytime workers.

Interoception refers to the sensation of internal and physiological bodily states, such as heart rate, and contributes to the maintenance of bodily internal homeostasis. Some studies showed that interoceptive awareness is related to experiencing nightmares and subjective sleep quality. Similarly to the perception of heart rate variability, sleepiness is thought to be mainly evoked by homeostatic processes and is based on the awareness and recognition of internal body signals.

Background: Older outpatients face a heightened risk of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP). However, there is a paucity of evidence evaluating PIP in older outpatients attending surgical outpatient departments in China using Chinese-specific criteria. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PIP and identify associated factors within this population.

Independent Researcher, Windermere, FL, United States.
Purpose: Adolescents are experiencing rising rates of obesity, insufficient exercise, and sleep disorders. To provide a scientific basis for policymakers to develop targeted and evidence-based health behavior education and policies, this study employed structural equation modeling to design the Adolescent Health Behavior Checklist (AHBC).
Methods: We designed a draft 6-dimensional AHBC, which includes the dimensions of exercise, diet, personal responsibility, sleep, interpersonal relationships, and stress management.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Prediction of Lipid Panel in Relation to Apnea- Hypopnea Index.

The research was designed to predict the relationship between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as the main indicator of severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and lipid panel test results. A cross-sectional observational study was done on 90 patients with suspected sleep-related breathing disorders as assumed by polysomnography. Patients were categorized into three equal groups depending on AHI: mild degree (5-15 events/hour), moderate degree (15-30 events/hour), and severe degree (> 30 events/hour).
