Chronic Disease and Sleep

Chronic Disease •  Inadequate or poor sleep

–  increase risk of chronic disease •  increased BP •  impaired blood glucose •  increased inflammation •  change in hormone levels

Chronic Disease •  Poor sleep and Obesity

•  increase in coritsol •  increase in secretion of insulin •  lower levels of leptin •  higher levels of ghrelin

Chronic Disease •  Poor sleep and Diabetes

•  increased risks of Type 2 DM •  processing of glucose impaired

Chronic Disease •  Poor sleep and Heart

Disease •  increased risk of CHD in

women •  Sleep apnea increases HTN,

CVA, CHD and arrhythmias

Chronic Disease •  Poor sleep and Heart Disease

•  sympathetic nervous system •  Normal sleep – plasma renin activity &

sympathovagal balance blood pressure, renin & aldosterone

•  Sleep disturbance •  = increase in renin, aldosterone, as well

as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 •  Insomnia link to change in lifestyle

may add to HD affect

Chronic Disease •  Poor sleep and Mood Disorders

•  less happiness •  increased anger and exhaustion

Clinical Diagnosis •  ICSD-3 (2014) Chronic Insomnia

–  AKA Chronic, primary, secondary, comorbid, behavioral insomnia of childhood, sleep-onset association disorder, limit-setting sleep disorder

1.  difficulty initiating, maintaining, or waking up too early

2.  despite adequate opportunity 3.  daytime impairment 4.  not better explained by another sleep

disorder 5.  Occurs at least 3 times a wk for 3 mos

Clinical Diagnosis •  ICSD-3 (2014) Short Term

Insomnia – AKA Acute, adjustment 1.  difficulty initiating, maintaining, or

waking up too early 2.  despite adequate opportunity 3.  daytime impairment 4.  not better explained by another

sleep disorder 5.  Occurs at less than three months

Clinical Diagnosis •  ICSD-3 (2014) Other Insomnia

–  AKA none –  difficulty initiating & maintaining sleep –  do not meet full criteria of chronic or short-term

•  DSM5 –  complaint of dissatisfaction with sleep quantity or quality –  sleep disturbance causes clinically significant distress or

impairment –  same timeline as chronic –  listed under sleep-wake disorders

Coding Insomnia •  ICSD-3 (2014 update)

– Chronic insomnia – Acute insomnia – Other insomnia

•  DSM-5 –  Insomnia Disorder

•  ICD-10 –  Insomnia, unspecified G47.00 –  Insomnia due to medical

condition G47.01

Insomnia Pathophysiology •  increased physiological arousal

– elevated cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone and CRF levels

–  increased frequency EEG activity during NREM sleep

–  Increased SNS activity and HPA axis •  no structural brain pathology

Differential Diagnosis •  Other sleep disorders

– Sleep apnea – Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders – Movement Disorders – Parasomnias

•  Comorbid conditions – Medications – Medical conditions – TREAT both
