Diagnosis requires one or more of the following: difficulty initiating sleep difficulty maintaining sleep waking up too early, or sleep that is chronically nonrestorative or poor in
quality Sleep difficulty occurs despite adequate
opportunity and circumstances for sleep. Insomnia is not sleep deprivation, but the
two may coexist.
Insomnia defined

At least one daytime impairment related to the nighttime sleep difficulty must be present: Fatigue/malaise Attention, concentration, or memory impairment Social/vocational dysfunction or poor school
performance Mood disturbance/irritability Daytime sleepiness Motivation/energy/initiative reduction Proneness for errors/accident at work or while
driving Tension headaches, and/or GI symptoms in
response to sleep loss Concerns or worries about sleep
Insomnia must be associated with daytime impairment

Comorbid insomniaImpacts quality of life and worsens clinical
outcomes1,2
Predisposes patients to recurrence3
May continue despite treatment of the primary condition4
“Comorbid insomnia”more appropriate than “secondary insomnia,” because limited understanding of mechanistic pathways in chronic insomnia precludes drawing firm conclusions about the nature of these associations or direction of causality. Considering insomnia to be “secondary” may also result in undertreatment.5

Epidemiology of insomnia General population: 10-15%Clinical Practice: > 50%The prevalence and treatment of
primary insomnia have been the most studied (less than 20% of cases)1,2

Why insomnia is a disorder, not just a symptom
• Relative consistency of insomnia symptoms and consequences across comorbid disorders
• Course of insomnia does not consistently covary with the comorbid disorder
• Insomnia responds to different types of treatment than the comorbid disorder
• Insomnia responds to the same types of treatment across different comorbid disorders
• Insomnia poses common risk for development of and poor outcome in different disorders

Sleep and menopause
Peri- and postmenopausal women have more sleep complaints1
41% of early perimenopausal women report sleep difficulties2
Frequent awakenings suggest insomnia is secondary to vasomotor symptoms3 However, waking episodes may occur in
absence of hot flashes4

Sleep and cancer• 30% to 75% of newly diagnosed or recently
treated cancer patients complain of insomnia (double that of the general population)
• Sleep complaints in cancer patients consist of• difficulty falling asleep• difficulty staying asleep• frequent and prolonged nighttime awakenings
• Complaints occur before, during and after treatment

Risk factors for insomnia in cancer patients
Risk Factor Examples
Disease factorsTumors that increase steroid production, symptoms of tumor invasion (pain, dyspnea, fatigue, nausea, pruritis)
Treatment factorsFrequent monitoring, corticosteroid treatment, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue
Medications
Narcotics, chemotherapy, neuroleptics, sympathomimetics, sedative/hypnotics, steroids, caffeine/nicotine, antidepressants, diet supplements
Environmental factors
Disturbing light and noise, temperature extremes
Psychosocial disturbances
Depression, anxiety, delirium, stress
Physical disorders Headaches, seizures, snoring/sleep apnea

Insomnia and COPD>50% of patients with COPD have insomnia
25% complain of excessive daytime sleepinessMedications for COPD contribute to insomnia
Inhaled or PO; anticholinergics, corticosteroids, beta-2-agonists, theophylline; bupropion used for smoking cessation
Sleep deprivation may attenuate ventilatory response to hypercapnia in patients with COPD, leading to further desaturation and sleep disruption

Insomnia and COPDInsomnia linked with comorbidities of COPD
Eg, depression, smoking, orthopnea, and nocturnal hypoxemia
Suggests multiple factors in pathogenesis of insomnia in COPD
Insomnia can impair pulmonary functionSpirometric decline is observed after one
night of sleep deprivationDespite importance of treating the
underlying COPD, this may not lead to improvement of insomnia in clinical practice

Practicing good sleep hygieneAvoid:
“watching the clock”use of stimulants, eg, caffeine, nicotine, particularly near
bedtime1,3
heavy meals or drinking alcohol within 3 hours of bed1
exposure to bright light during the night 1,3
Enhance sleep environment: dark, quiet, cool temperature1,3
Increase exposure to bright light during the day 2
Practice relaxing routine 1-3
Reduce time in bed; regular sleep/wake cycle 1-3
Time regular exercise for the morning and/or afternoon 1,3

Behavioral techniquesTechnique Aim
Stimulus control therapy
Imprint bed and bedroom as sleep stimulus
Sleep restrictionRestrict actual time spent in bed to enhance sleep depth & consolidation
Cognitive therapy
Address dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep
Relaxation training
Decrease arousal and anxiety
Circadian rhythm entrainment
Reinforce or reset biological rhythm using light and/or chronotherapy
Cognitive behavior therapy
Combination of behavioral and cognitive approaches listed above

When to refer an insomnia patient to Sleep Clinic:
Medical and psychiatric comorbidities have been assessed and are adequately treated
Patient has been instructed in sleep hygiene
Patient has failed trials of behavioral and/or pharmacological therapy

Other common sleep disorders treated by sleep specialists:Sleep apnea*Restless legs/periodic limb movement
disorderParasomniasCircadian rhythm disordersNarcolepsy*
*Typically require sleep laboratory testing as well as clinical evaluation for diagnosis

High density-EEG / TMS studies in health and disease pioneered by Giulio Tononi, MD, PhD
High density EEG (256 electrodes) recorded across entire night, TMS in wakefulness and sleep

Why high-density EEG in sleep?
• Can now be done routinely; noninvasive and relatively inexpensive
• What could be done with standard PSG has largely been done (NIH roadmap discourages it)
• Sleep apnea PSG likely to migrate to home-monitoring
• Spatial resolution is comparable to PET; temporal resolution is ideal
• Sleep is a window on spontaneous brain function, unconfounded by attention, motivation, etc.
• Broad patient population: sleep disorders, psychiatric disorders, neurological disorders (and connection to long-term epilepsy monitoring)

Spontaneous brain rhythms during sleep reflect brain functioning unconfounded by attention and motivation

Slow waves originate more frequently in orbitofrontal and centroparietal regionsand propagate in an antero-posterior direction
