Sleep Disturbance
Disturbed Sleep

Presentation

REM behavior disorder (a condition in which there is physical enactment of dreams), tends to present as nonviolent movements in women. The atypical presentation of sleep disorders can lead to a delay in medical treatment. [brighamandwomens.org]

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]
