Presentation
When this phenomenon, cataplexy, is present, it strengthens the diagnosis of narcolepsy. In some patients, cataplexy may be present in the absence of excessive daytime sleepiness. The clinician should seek two other phenomena of narcolepsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Recognizing the difficulty in constructing statistical models based on strong biological pathway data, alternative statistical models that included different sets of covariates that may operate as confounders, mediators, or moderators were presented. [ahajournals.org]

All of the symptoms of narcolepsy may be present in various combinations and degrees of severity. [medicinenet.com]
Sleep problems did not fit neatly into the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) requirement that all ADHD symptoms must be present by age 7. [additudemag.com]

Nocturnal Awakening
Examples of sleep disturbances include daytime sleepiness, difficulty initiating sleep, nocturnal awakenings, and disrupted sleep architecture. [hopkinsguides.com]
Complaints about poor sleep include difficulty falling and staying asleep, coupled with early morning and nocturnal awakenings (1). [menopause.org.au]
The mean number of nocturnal awakenings was 2.0 (95% CI, 1.9-2.1) times at home vs 3.3 (95% CI, 3.2-3.5) times during hospitalization (P .001). [jamanetwork.com]
There are many more nocturnal awakenings after people reach the age of 40. Psychological stressors can interfere with sleep. It is beneficial for patients to develop a pre-sleep ritual to break the connection between stress and bedtime. [practicalpainmanagement.com]
Although many narcoleptic patients experience frequent nocturnal awakenings and/or nightmares, some may have relatively restful nighttime sleeping. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Increased Energy
Tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive drug that causes stimulation and almost immediately increases energy and alertness, which can affect sleep. [practicalpainmanagement.com]

Difficulty Walking
Items incorporated in the scale include being in bed/chair most/all of the day, difficulty bathing by oneself, difficulty climbing stairs, difficulty walking several blocks, and difficulty with heavy housework. [academic.oup.com]

Cheyne-Stokes Respiration
Cheyne-Stokes respirations may be associated with multiple nocturnal mini-arousals, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness. The same may occur with nocturnal myoclonus or the "restless legs" syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Aspiration
Purpose in life is generally conceptualized as one’s sense of meaning and directedness in his/her life, essentially having aspirations and goals for the future and feeling that experiences in life are meaningful (Ryff 1989; Ryff and Keyes 1995; Ryff 2014 [sleep.biomedcentral.com]

Distractibility
However, pain also interferes with the physiology of sleep in targeted ways that go beyond the conscious distraction caused by the discomfort. [psychiatrictimes.com]
Distraction and other strategies people use to deal with the stress during the day are not helpful when they go to bed at night. [med.stanford.edu]
These things may distract you, but they will also stimulate your mind - and a busy mind will keep you awake. Do turn the light off straight away when you get into bed. Tell yourself that sleep will come when it’s ready. [tinnitus.org.uk]
The house is quiet and distractions are low. This is their most productive time. Unfortunately, they have jobs and families to which they must attend the next morning, tasks made harder by inadequate sleep. Avoid caffeine late at night. [additudemag.com]
Other methods include distracting mental activity (games and hobbies), regular exercise (though not too late in the evening or at night), and avoiding provocative situations (long periods of sitting still). [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Withdrawn
Excessive sleepiness may also be noted when CNS stimulants are purposely withdrawn. Patients who excessively use caffeine-containing substances may similarly develop tolerance and become progressively dependent on caffeine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recurrent Headache
Neuropathic pain is also associated with sleep disturbances, and there is a strong bidirectional relationship between sleep disturbances and neuropathic features of pain.6 Sleep disturbances are common among patients who have chronic, recurrent headaches [psychiatrictimes.com]

Dysesthesia
The dysesthesias often temporarily subside with exercise. Virtually all the patients also experience sleep-related myoclonus, although most of the patients with the latter condition do not also have the "restless legs" syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Grunting

Encephalopathy
Conditions to be considered include endocrinologic disturbances of the thyroid gland and pancreas, uremia, hepatic encephalopathy, and morbid obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hyperalgesia
As sleep stages are compromised, daytime pain increases through a process of hyperalgesia, in which lower pain stimuli result in higher pain perception and greater pain-associated impairment than would be expected otherwise.8 According to research in [psychiatrictimes.com]

Dyslipidemia

Treatment
Depending on the type of sleep disorder that you’re experiencing, a range of treatment methods may be effective. The treatment of disrupted sleep generally starts by determining its cause. [mind-diagnostics.org]
treatments for each condition are required to achieve control of symptoms. [psychiatrictimes.com]
More advanced treatments include use of machines or surgery. A portable CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine constantly pushes air into your airway to help keep it open when you sleep. There are many surgical treatments for OSA. [ahns.info]
The patients would start an adjuvant or palliative systemic oncological treatment. [jneuro.com]

Etiology
It has to be remembered that there are well over a 100 putative risk factors identified for cardiovascular disease which make any rigorous investigation and analysis of the etiological pathway a difficult task. [noiseandhealth.org]

While adults may suffer from the same problems, the etiology, presentation, and associated findings in children may be very different than those seen in adults. [stanfordhealthcare.org]
Given the likely multifactorial etiology of sleep disturbance in critically ill patients, it is important to assess pre-existing sleep disturbance before ICU stay. [atsjournals.org]
