        수면과 알코올

        박두흠,유재학,유승호,Park, Doo-Heum,Yu, Jae-Hak,Ryu, Seung-Ho 대한수면의학회 2006 수면·정신생리 Vol.13 No.1

        Alcohol has extensive effects on sleep and daytime sleepiness. Alcohol has a sleep inducing effect and the effect of increased non-REM sleep and suppressed REM sleep during the first half portion of night sleep, but alcohol induces the effect of decreased non-REM sleep and increased light sleep and frequent awakenings and REM rebound during the second half portion of night sleep. Alcohol provokes chronobiological change such as the changes of amplitude or the phase shifts of hormones or core body temperature. The sleep disruption resulting from alcohol drinking may lead to daytime fatigue and sleepiness. The elderly are at particular in the increased risk of alcohol-related sleep disorders because they achieve higher levels of alcohol in the blood and brain than do younger adults after consuming an equivalent dose. Bedtime alcohol consumption among older adults may lead to unsteadiness if walking is attempted during the night, with increased risk of falls and injuries. Continued alcohol use for sleep induction often induces aggravation of insomnia, alcoholism or sleep related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. Alcohol should not be used as substitution of sleep pill because of the dependence and tolerance for sleep inducing effect, and the sleep disruption produced by alcohol withdrawal.

        폐쇄성(閉鎖性) 수면무호흡증(睡眠無呼吸症)에서 지속적(持續的) 상기도(上氣道) 양압술(陽壓術)이 혈력학적(血力學的) 변화(變化)에 끼치는 영향(影響)

        박두흠,정도언,Park, Doo-Heum,Jeong, Do-Un 대한수면의학회 2002 수면·정신생리 Vol.9 No.1

        목 적 : 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증(이하 수면무호흡증) 환자에서 고혈압이 흔히 병발되나 지속적 상기도 양압술(이하 양압술)에 따른 고혈압 해소 정도는 연구방법에 따라 상이한 결과를 보이고 있다. 이에 저자들은 지속적-비관혈적 혈압 측정법을 이용하여 기초 혈압치가 다양한 수면무호흡증 환자군에서 양압술을 적용하면서 야간 수면중 혈압 및 심박 동수 반응에 양압술이 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 하였다. 또한 양압술에 의한 혈역학적 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 찾고자 하였다. 방 법 : 연구대상으로는 수면무호흡증의 임상 증상을 지니고 있으며 기초 측정일의 야간 수면다원검사 결과 호흡장애지수가 5이상인 환자 10명(평균연령 52.2$\pm$12.4세, 남자 9명, 여자 1명)을 선택하였다. 양압술을 시행하지 않은 상태인 기초 측정일과 양압술을 시행한 양압술 시행일 모두에서 야간 수면다원기록과 동시에 지속적-비관혈적 혈압측정기($Finapres^{(R)}$)를 사용하여 매 박동(beat-to-beat)시의 수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 그리고 심박동수를 측정하였다. 또한 매 2초마다 혈중산소포화도($SaO_2$)를 측정하였다. 기초 측정일과 양압술 시행일 두 군간에 혈역학적 및 호흡기적 변인들의 평균치를 비교하였다. 기초 측정일 값에서 양압술 시행일 값을 뺀 수축기 혈압 델타값 및 이완기 혈압 델타값 각각과 기초 측정일의 측정치들(수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 그 각각의 혈압 변이도, 심박동수 및 심박동수 변이도, 혈중산소포화도 평균치, 그리고 호흡장애지수), 양압술 시행일의 측정치들(양압술 처방압력 및 총 각성시간 분율), 연령, 그리고 비만도 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 1) 혈중 산소포화도의 평균치와 호흡장애지수가 기초 측정일에 비해 양압술 시행일에서 각각 증가(p<.01) 및 감소(p<.01)하였으나, 혈역학적 변인을 포함한 다른 비교 변인들에서는 차이가 없었다. 2) 기초 측정일의 혈압에서 양압술 시행일의 혈압을 뺀 델타값들을 분석한 결과 기초 측정일의 혈압치와 대상군의 연령에 따라 혈압 반응이 차별적으로 나타났다. 수축기 혈압 델타값과 기초 측정일의 수축기 혈압간에 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보였으나(p<.01), 이완기 혈압 델타값과 기초 측정일의 이완기 혈압간에는 각성기(p<.01)를 제외한 다른 수면단계에서 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 렘수면단계를 제외한 모든 수면단계에서 이완기 혈압의 델타값과 연령 사이에 유의한 역 상관관계가 있었지만(p<.05), 수축기 혈압의 델타값과 연령 간에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 3) 수축기 혈압 델타값 및 이완기 혈압델타값 각각과 기초 측정일의 측정치들, 양압술 시행일의 측정치들, 그리고 비만도 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 이완기 혈압 델타값과 양압술 시행일의 각성시간 분율간의 유의한 정적 상관관계(p<.01) 외에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론 : 양압술 적용에 따라 수축기 혈압 델타값과 이완기 혈압 델타값이 기초 측정일의 수축기 혈압치와 대상군의 연령에 따라 각각 증가 또는 감소하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 양압술에 따른 혈압 반응은 단순 감소로 나타나는 것이 아니라 여러 변인의 조건에 따라 차별적 혈압 반응 양상으로 나타나는 복합적인 현상이며 앞으로 좀더 세밀하게 연구되어야 할 대상임을 시사한다. Objectives: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) corrected elevated blood pressure (BP) in some studies of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) but not in others. Such inconsistent results in previous studies might be due to differences in factors influencing the effects of CPAP on BP. The factors referred to include BP monitoring techniques, the characteristics of subjects, and method of CPAP application. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of one night CPAP application on BP and heart rate (HR) reactivity using non-invasive beat-to-beat BP measurement in normotensive and hypertensive subjects with OSAS. Methods: Finger arterial BP and oxygen saturation monitoring with nocturnal polysomnography were performed on 10 OSAS patients (mean age $52.2{\pm}12.4\;years$; 9 males, 1 female; respiratory disturbance index (RDI)>5) for one baseline night and another CPAP night. Beat-to-beat measurement of BP and HR was done with finger arterial BP monitor ($Finapres^{(R)}$) and mean arterial oxygen saturation ($SaO_2$) was also measured at 2-second intervals for both nights. We compared the mean values of cardiovascular and respiratory variables between baseline and CPAP nights using Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Delta ($\Delta$) BP, defined as the subtracted value of CPAP night BP from baseline night BP, was correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), baseline night values of BP, BP variability, HR, HR variability, mean $SaO_2$ and respiratory disturbance index (RDI), and CPAP night values of TWT% (total wake time%) and CPAP pressure, using Spearman's correlation. Results: 1) Although increase of mean $SaO_2$ (p<.01) and decrease of RDI (p<.01) were observed on the CPAP night, there were no significant differences in other variables between two nights. 2) However, delta BP tended to increase or decease depending on BP values of the baseline night and age. Delta systolic BP and baseline systolic BP showed a significant positive correlation (p<.01), but delta diastolic BP and baseline diastolic BP did not show a significant correlation except for a positive correlation in wake stage (p<.01). Delta diastolic BP and age showed a significant negative correlation (p<.05) during all stages except for REM stage, but delta systolic BP and age did not. 3) Delta systolic and diastolic BPs did not significantly correlate with other factors, such as BMI, baseline night values of BP variability, HR, HR variability, mean SaO2 and RDI, and CPAP night values of TWT% and CPAP pressure, except for a positive correlation of delta diastolic pressure and TWT% of CPAP night (p<.01). Conclusions: We observed that systolic BP and diastolic BP tended to decrease, increase or remain still in accordance with the systolic BP level of baseline night and aging. We suggest that BP reactivity by CPAP be dealt with as a complex phenomenon rather than a simple undifferentiated BP decrease.

        기면병에서 전산화 뇌파 지도화 기법으로 측정한 뇌파 동시성 시성 변화

        박두흠,권준수,정도언,Park, Doo-Heum,Kwon, Jun-Soo,Jeong, Do-Un 대한수면의학회 2001 수면·정신생리 Vol.8 No.2

        목 적 : 국제수면장애분류(1990) 진단기준, 야간수면다원검사 및 입면잠복기반복검사로 진단된 기면병 환자군에서 각성시 정량화뇌파 소견을 측정하여 그 특성을 연구하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 약물을 복용하지 않은 8명의 기면병 환자군과 성별과 연령이 짝지어진 8명의 정상 대조군의 각성시 뇌파를 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 뇌파는 국제 10/20 체계에 근거하여 측정하였으며, 측정된 뇌파 중 아티팩트(artifact)가 없는 2.5초간의 이포크(epoch)를 24개 선정하여 푸리에 변환(Fourier transformation, FFT)을 한 후 스펙트럼 분석을 시행하였다. 정량화 뇌파의 각주파수 영역(delta, theta, alpha, beta)에서 측정한 절대력(absolute power), 상대력(relative power), 비대칭도(asymmetry), 동시성(coherence) 및 평균 주파수(mean frequency)를 기면병 환자군과 정상대조군 간에 비교분석하였다. 결 과 : 정상 대조군과 비교하여 기면병 환자군에서 나타난 특징적 소견은 다음과 같았다. 1) 알파 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$), 두정엽 부위($P_3/P_4$), 측두엽 부위($T_5/T_6$)와 베타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$)에서 단극성 양반구간 동시성이 감소하였다. 알파 주파수 영역의 좌반구 부위($T_3/T_5$, $C_3/P_3$, $F_3/O_1$)에서 단극성 반구내 동시성이 감소하였다. 2) 델타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$)에서 단극성 양반구간 비대칭도가 감소하였다. 3) 베타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_2,\;O_z$)에서 단극성 절대력이 감소하였다. 결 론 : 기면병 환자군에서 나타난 동시성의 변화는 각성 상태에서 정상 대조군에 비해 후반 부위의 양반구간 기능적 신경연결과 좌측 반구내 기능적 신경연결이 감소되어 있을 가능성을 시사한다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과는 기면병의 병태생리는 렘수면 유발/정지 세포(REM-on/off cells)가 있는 뇌교와 같은 뇌의 일정 부위만 단순하게 관계하는 것이 아니라 대뇌피질, 피질하 부위 및 뇌간 등 뇌의 여러 부위가 복잡하게 관계할 가능성이 있다는 것을 제시한다. Objectives: In narcoleptic patients diagnosed with ICSD (international classification of sleep disorders, 1990) criteria, nocturnal polysomnography, and MSLT (multiple sleep latency test), we tried to find characteristic features of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) in a wakeful state. Methods: We compared eight drug-free narcoleptic patients with sex- and age-matched normal controls, using computerized electroencephalographic mapping technique and spectral analysis. Absolute power, relative power, interhemispheric asymmetry, interhemispheric and intrahemispheric coherence, and mean frequency in each frequency band (delta, theta, alpha and beta) were measured and analyzed. Results: Compared with normal controls, narcoleptic patients showed decrease in monopolar interhemispheric coherence of alpha frequency bands in occipital ($O_1/O_2$), parietal ($P_3/P_4$), and temporal ($T_5/T_6$) areas and beta frequency band in the occipital ($O_1/O_2$) area. Monopolar intrahemispheric coherences of alpha frequency bands in left hemispheric areas ($T_3/T_5$, $C_3/P_3$ & $F_3/O_1$) decreased. Decrease of monopolar interhemispheric asymmetry of delta frequency band in the occipital ($O_1/O_2$) area was also noted. The monopolar absolute powers of beta frequency bands decreased in occipital ($O_2,\;O_z$) areas. Conclusion: Decreases in coherences of narcoleptic patients compared with normal controls may indicate fewer posterior neocortical interhemispheric neuronal connections, and fewer left intrahemispheric neuronal connections than normal controls in a wakeful state. Therefore, we suggest that abnormal neurophysiological sites of narcolepsy may involve complex areas such as neocortex and subcortex as well as the brainstem.

        수면발생과정의 뇌파를 대상으로한 탈경향변동분석의 적용

        박두흠,신철진,Park, Doo-Heum,Shin, Chul-Jin 대한생물정신의학회 2012 생물정신의학 Vol.19 No.1

        Objectives : Much is still unknown about the neurophysiological mechanisms or dynamics of the sleep onset process. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a new tool for the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) that may give us additional information about electrophysiological changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze long-range correlations of electroencephalographic signals by DFA and their changes in the sleep onset process. Methods : Thirty channel EEG was recorded in 61 healthy subjects (male:female=34:27, age=$27.2{\pm}3.0$ years). The scaling exponents, alpha, were calculated by DFA and compared between four kinds of 30s sleep-wakefulness states such as wakefulness, transition period, early sleep, and late sleep (stage 1). These four states were selected by the distribution of alpha and theta waves in O1 and O2 electrodes. Results : The scaling exponents, alpha, were significantly different in the four states during sleep onset periods, and also varied with the thirty leads. The interaction between the sleep states and the leads was significant. The means (${\pm}$ standard deviation) of alphas for the states were 0.94 (${\pm}0.12$), 0.98 (${\pm}0.12$), 1.10 (${\pm}0.10$), 1.07 (${\pm}0.07$) in the wakefulness, transitional period, early sleep and late sleep state respectively. The mean alpha of anterior fifteen leads was greater than that of posterior fifteen leads, and the two regions showed the different pattern of changes of the alpha during the sleep onset periods. Conclusions : The characteristic findings in the sleep onset period were the increasing pattern of scaling exponent of DFA, and the pattern was slightly but significantly different between fronto-temporal and parieto-occipital regions. It suggests that the long-range correlations of EEG have a tendency of increasing from wakefulness to early sleep, but anterior and posterior brain regions have different dynamical process. DFA, one of the nonlinear analytical methods for time series, may be a useful tool for the investigation of the sleep onset period.

        Correlation between the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Heart Rate Variability Indices

        박두흠,신철진,Seok Chan Hong,유재학,유승호,김의중,Hong Beom Shin,Byoung Hak Shin 대한의학회 2008 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.23 No.2

        The risk of cardiovascular disease is known to be increased in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Its mechanism can be explained by the observation that the sympathetic tone increases due to repetitive apneas accompanied by hypoxias and arousals during sleep. Heart rate variability (HRV) representing cardiac autonomic function is mediated by respiratory sinus arrhythmia, baroreflexrelated fluctuation, and thermoregulation-related fluctuation. We evaluated the heart rate variability of OSAS patients during night to assess their relationship with the severity of the symptoms. We studied overnight polysomnographies of 59 male untreated OSAS patients with moderate to severe symptoms (mean age 45.4± 11.7 yr, apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]=43.2±23.4 events per hour, and AHI >15). Moderate (mean age 47.1±9.4 yr, AHI=15-30, n=22) and severe (mean age 44.5 ±12.9 yr, AHI >30, n=37) OSAS patients were compared for the indices derived from time and frequency domain analysis of HRV, AHI, oxygen desaturation event index (ODI), arousal index (ArI), and sleep parameters. As a result, the severe OSAS group showed higher mean powers of total frequency (TF) (p=0.012), very low frequency (VLF) (p= 0.038), and low frequency (LF) (p=0.002) than the moderate OSAS group. The LF/HF ratio (p=0.005) was higher in the severe group compared to that of the moderate group. On the time domain analysis, the HRV triangular index (p=0.026) of severe OSAS group was significantly higher. AHI was correlated best with the LF/HF ratio (rp=0.610, p<0.001) of all the HRV indices. According to the results, the frequency domain indices tended to reveal the difference between the groups better than time domain indices. Especially the LF/HF ratio was thought to be the most useful parameter to estimate the degree of AHI in OSAS patients.

        불면증의 약물 치료:진정수면제

        박두흠,Park, Doo-Heum 대한수면의학회 1999 수면·정신생리 Vol.6 No.1

        A growing number of people are concerned about their sleep. There are many people with chronic sleep disorders. Sedativehypnotics including benzodiazepine and non-benzodiazepine have been widely used in chronic insomniacs. It is widely accepted that current hypnotics are efficient in alleviating subjective symptoms of insomnia. Non-benzodiazepine hypnotics include zolpidem, zopiclone, and melatonin. These novel non-benzodiazepine hypnotics that have efficacy comparable to benzodiazepines were developed with more understanding of benzodiazepine receptor pharmacology. Their unique pharmacologic profiles may offer few significant advantages in terms of adverse effects of benzodiazepines. However, most of hypnotics including non-benzodiazepine have some of dependence, tolerance, impaired daytime function and rebound insomnia. Currently, it is accepted that combination therapy with pharmacologic and behavioral intervention is the most effective for chronic insomniacs.

        폐쇄성 수면무호흡증에서 지속적 상기도 양압술에 따른 주기성 사지운동증의 표출

        박두흠,정도언,Park, Doo-Heum,Jeong, Do-Un 대한수면의학회 1998 수면·정신생리 Vol.5 No.1

        연구배경 : 사지운동증과 수면무호흡증은 공히 연령 증가에 따라 그 유병률이 증가한다. 흥미롭게도, 수면 무호흡증 환자에게 양압술을 시행하면 사지운동증이 증가 또는 유발된다는 보고들이 있다. 그러나 아직 일 관성 있는 결과가 나와있지는 않다. 저자들은 수면무호흡증환자에서 양압술 적용전후의 사지운동지수변화를 살펴보고 이러한 변화에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 요인들을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 방법 : 야간 수면다원검사 결과 무호흡증으로 진단받았고 사지운동증외의 다른 수면장애가 병발되지 않았던 총 29명(남자 26명, 여자 3명)을 연구대상으로 하였다. 대상군의 평균연령은 $51.6{\pm}10.6$ 세이었다. 결과 : 기본측정일과 양압술 시행일의 사지운동지수는 각각 $5.7{\pm}9.5$회 (범위 0-35.4회), $12.0{\pm}9.2$ 회(범위 0-74.3회)로 양압술 시행일에서 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). 전체 대상군을 사지 운동 변화 여부에 따라 분류한 바 사지운동지수 증가군, 무변화군 및 감소군의 수는 각각 10명, 14명, 5명이었다. 사지운동지수 델타값과 연령, 비만 정도, 호흡 관련 변인, 수면구조 관련 변인 델타값 및 양압술 처방압력 과의 상관관계 분석 결과전체 대상군에서는 유의한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 사지운동지수 증가군에서는 호흡장애지수와 사지운동지수 텔타값 간에 유의한 정상관관계를 보였다(p<.05). 동일군의 다른 변인들이나 다른 군의 제반 변인들에서는 유의한 소견이 나타나지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과는 양압술 적용이 직접적으로 사지운동증을 유발하거나 증가시키기보다는 숨어 있거나 적게 판독되었던 사지 운동증을 무호흡의 해소와 함께 표출시킬 가능성을 제시한다. Objectives : High co-morbidity of periodic limb movements during sleep(PLMS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS) is well known and their incidences tend to increase in the elderly. Previous studies have inconsistently rep0l1ed increase or no change of periodic limb movement index(PLMI) by nasal continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) in OSAS without analyzing possible variables affecting PLMI. We attempted to examine PLMI change evoked during CPAP titration and also factors affecting it in OSAS. Methods : Twenty-nine OSAS patients(M:F=26:3, mean age: $51.6{\pm}10.6\;yrs$) without other sleep disorders except for PLMS were selected, based on the nocturnal (baseline) polysomnograhy. Another night of noctumal polysomnography was performed for CPAP pressure titration. We compared between those two nights PLMI, mean and lowest $SaO_2$, and sleep variables. We also calculated PLMI differences between baseline and CPAP nights, named as delta PLMI (value of CPAP night PLMI minus value of baseline night PLMI). Correlations were calculated between delta PLMI and factors such as age, body mass index, applied CPAP pressure, baseline night values of respiratory disturbance index, mean and lowest $SaO_2$, and sleep parameter differences between baseline and CPAP nights. Results : Decrease of RDI(p<.01) and increase in mean and lowest $SaO_2$ (p<.05, p<.01) were observed during CPAP night. No sleep parameters showed significant change except for the decrease of total stage 1 sleep%(p<.01) during CPAP night. Ten out of 29 patients showed PLMI increase, while the other 19 patients showed either no change(n=14) or even PLMI decrease(n=5) during CPAP night. The 10 patients showing PLMI increase during CPAP night showed a significant positive correlation between delta PLMI and baseline night RDI(p<.05), which meant that PLMI increase was found to be more prominent in higher RDI patients than in lower RDI ones. There were no significant correlations between delta PLMI and other factors in the other 19 patients. Conclusions : We suggest that during the baseline night PLMS would have been underscored and/or masked due to the overlapping of PLMS and apneas/hypopneas or the arousals induced by apneas/hypopneas. Despite its still unknown mechanism, the CPAP application may unmask PLMS and increase PLMI in a subgroup of OSAS patients. It needs to be evaluated further whether the chronic CPAP use sustains the above finding.

        기면병(嗜眠炳)의 야간(夜間) 수면분절(睡眠分節) 및 임상적(臨床的) 의미(意味)

        박두흠,손창호,정도언,Park, Doo-Heum,Sohn, Chang-Ho,Jeong, Do-Un 대한수면의학회 1996 수면·정신생리 Vol.3 No.1

        Narcolepsy is characterized by sleep attack with excessive daytime sleepiness(EDS), cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucination. Paradoxically, narcoleptics tend to complain of frequent arousals and shallow sleep during the night time despite their excessive sleepiness. However, nocturnal sleep fragmentation in narcoleptics is relatively ignored in treatment strategies, compared with sleep attack/EDS and cataplexy. In our paper, we attempted to investigate further on the poor nocturnal sleep in narcoleptics and to discuss possible treatment interventions. Out of consecutively seen patients at Seoul National University Sleep Disorders Clinic and Division of Sleep Studies, we recruited 57 patients, clinically assessed as having sleep attack and/or EDS. Nocturnal polysomnography and multiple sleep latency test(MSLT) were done in each of the subjects. We selected 19 subjects finally diagnosed as narcolepsy(mean age $26.0{\pm}18.3$ years, 16 men and 3 women) for this study, depending on the nocturnal polysomnographic and MSLT findings as well as clinical history and symptomatology. Any subject co-morbid with other hypersomnic sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or periodic limb movements during sleep was excluded. Sleep staging was done using Rechtschaffen and Kales criteria. Sleep parameters were calculated using PSDENT program(Stanford Sleep Clinic, version 1.2) and were compared with the age-matched normal values provided in the program. In narcoleptics, compared with the normal controls, total wake time was found to be significantly increased with significantly decreased sleep efficiency(p<.01, p<.05, respectively), despite no difference of sleep period time and total sleep time between the two groups. Stage 2 sleep%(p<.05), slow wave sleep%(p<.05), and REM sleep%(p<.01) were found to be significantly decreased in narcoleptics compared with normal controls, accompanied by the significant increase of stage 1 sleep%(p<.01). Age showed negative correlation with slow wave sleep%(p<.05). The findings in the present study indicate significant fragmentation of nocturnal sleep in narcoleptics. Reduction of REM sleep% and the total number of REM sleep periods suggests the disturbance of nocturnal REM sleep distribution in narcoleptics. No significant correlations between nocturnal polysomnographic and MSLT variables in narcoleptics suggest that nocturnal sleep disturbance in narcoleptics may be dealt with, in itself, in diagnosing and managing narcolepsy. With the objective demonstration of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of nocturnal and daytime sleep in narcoleptics, we suggest that more attention be paid to the nocturnal sleep fragmentation in narcoleptics and that appropriate treatment interventions such as active drug therapy and/or circadian rhythm-oriented sleep hygiene education be applied as needed.
