Clinical Practice Guidelines for Sleep Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
S116 is a common complaint with a number of Psychiatric disorders e.g., depression, anxiety, and withdrawal from the substances that depress cerebral functioning. In addition, we now have evidence that link the depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia with the disordered circadian rhythms and many of these patients show delayed sleep wake phase cycle.Similarly, antidepressants are known to induce a number of sleep disorders including NREM parasomnias (sleep talking, sleep walking) as well as REM parasomnias (REM sleep behavior disorder) and restless legs syndrome.Antipsychotics may cause weight gain and thus they may lead to obstructive sleep apnea in a number of patients.Similarly, opioid users suffer from central sleep apnea and during withdrawal many of them develop RLS. Both these conditions may worsen the quality of the sleep.
