Sleep changes substantially with age. There is a phase advance in the circadian sleep cycle and increased waking after sleep onset. The elderly people wake more frequently during the night and experience fragmented sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. The prevalence of sleep disorders increases with age, and the composition of sleep disorders in the elderly differs from that in the young. The most frequently encountered sleep disorders are psychophysiologic insomnia, sleep disturbance due to dementia, sleeprelated respiratory disorder, restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder, and REM sleep behavior disorder. To treat the elderly sleep problem appropriately, it is important to know how sleep pattern changes as we age and to understand the cause of sleep-related symptoms. This article will review the sleep physiology and common sleep disorders in the elderly.

Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is a newly recognized parasomnia that describes a clinical condition of compulsive eating under an altered level of consciousness during sleep. Recently, it is increasingly recognized in clinical practice. The exact etiology of SRED is unclear, but it is assumed that SRED might share features of both sleepwalking and eating disorder. There have been also accumulating reports of SRED related to the administration of various psychotropic drugs, such as zolpidem, triazolam, olanzapine, and combinations of psychotropics. Especially, zolpidem in patients with underlying sleep disorders that cause frequent arousals, may cause or augment sleep related eating behavior. A thorough sleep history is essential to recognition and diagnosis of SRED. The timing, frequency, and description of food ingested during eating episodes should be elicited, and a history of concurrent psychiatric, medical, sleep disorders must also be sought and evaluated. Interestingly, dopaminergic agents as monotherapy were effective in some trials. Success with combinations of dopaminergic and opioid drugs, with the addition of sedatives, has also been reported in some case reports.

The number of people who are suffering from chronic sleep disorder has been growing dramatically in modern era. In order to diagonse the sleep disorder, sleep doctors perform polysomnography: Patients sleep with attaching several vital sign sensors on their body, and doctors monitor the patients in order to find the exact reason of the sleep disorder. Typical polysmonography makes patients sleep with several sensors on their bodies, which prevents the patients from making a comfortable sleep. Furthermore, it is impossible to have a long-term monitoring since the measurements should be done in sleep hosiptal within a few hours. In order to tackle these problems in the typical polysomnography, we envision the development of a non-contact long-term home polysomnography system using UWB radar and related technologies such as multi-modal signal processing.

목 적 : 최근 수면장애에 대한 3가지 진단 분류 체계가 발달하였다. 즉 국제 수면장애 분류(the International Classification of Sleep Disorder, ICSD), 정신장애의 진단 및 통계 편람 제 4 판(the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition, DSM-IV) 그리고 국제 질병 분류 제 10 판(the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition, ICD-10)이다. 국내에는 이들 진단 체계간의 비교에 대한 자료가 거의 없다. 본 저자들은 수면 문제로 정신과에 의뢰된 환자를 DSM-IV와 ICSD에 따라 진단하고 이를 비교하여 그 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 고려대학부속 안암병원에 입원 환자 중 수면장애로 정신과에 의뢰된 284명의 환자를 대상으로 ICSD를 숙수면장애에 대한 ICSD와 DSM-IV 진단 비교 44지하지 않은 정신과 전공의와 ICSD를 숙지한 정신과 전공의가 비구조화된 면담을 시행하고, DSM-IV와 ICSD의 진단 기준에 따라 임상적 진단을 하여 그 차이를 비교하였다. 결 과 : DSM-IV 진단 분류에는 "기타 정신장애 관련 불면증"(전체의 61.1%)과 "일반적인 의학적 상태로 인한 섬망"(26.8%)이 빈도가 가장 높았다. ICSD에서는 "신경과적 장애가 동반된 수면장애" (38.4%)와 "정신과적 장애가 동반된 수면장애" (33.1%)의 빈도가 가장 높았다. DSM-IV와 ICSD의 비교에서, DSM-IV에서 신체적 질환이나 정신과적 질환과 무관한 수면장애로 진단된 환자군은 대부분 ICSD와 일치하였고, 이들 중 DSM-IV의 "일차적 불면증"은 ICSD의 "정신생리적 불면증"과 "부적수면위생"으로 구분되었다. DSM-IV에서 신체적 질환이나 정신과적 질환에 의한 수면장애를 가진 269명 중 62명(23%)이 ICSD와 불일치하였고 이들 중 대부분이 ICSD에서 신체적 질환이나 정신과적 질환과 무관한 수면장애인 "부적수면위생", "환경성 수면장애", "적응성 수면장애" 그리고 "수면결핍장애" 등이었다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 DSM-IV와 ICSD의 진단 체계가 많은 부분 일치하였으나, 간과할 수 없는 차이를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 차이는 수면장애에 대한 임상의의 태도를 반영한다. 즉, 수면장애에 대한 개념화와 원인에 대한 임상의의 이해 정도에 따라, 수면장애를 진단하지 못하거나 적절한 치료를 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서 나타난 DSM-IV와 ICSD에 대한 임상의의 이해 정도는 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

Sleep disorder in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common and typically is associated with oxygen desaturation. The mechanisms of desaturation include hypoventilation and ventilation to perfusion mismatch. Despite the importance of sleep in patients with COPD, this topic is under-assessed in clinical practice. Impaired sleep quality is associated with more severe COPD and may contribute to worse clinical outcomes. Recent data have indicated that specific respiratory management of patients with COPD and sleep disordered breathing improves clinical outcomes. Clinicians managing patients with COPD should pay attention to and actively manage symptoms of comorbid sleep disorders. Management of sleep-related problems in COPD should particularly focus on minimizing sleep disturbance.

Sleep is an essential physiological process, especially for proper brain function through the formation of new pathways and processing information and cognition. Therefore, when sleep is insufficient, this can result in pathophysiologic conditions. Sleep deficiency is a risk factor for various conditions, including dementia, diabetes, and obesity. Recent studies have shown that there are differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders between genders. Insomnia, the most common type of sleep disorder, has been reported to have a higher incidence in females than in males. However, sex/gender differences in other sleep disorder subtypes are not thoroughly understood. Currently, increasing evidence suggests that gender issues should be considered important when prescribing medicine. Therefore, an investigation of the gender-dependent differences in sleep disorders is required. In this review, we first describe sex/gender differences not only in the prevalence of sleep disorders by category but in the efficacy of sleep medications. In addition, we summarize sex/gender differences in the impact of sleep disorders on incident dementia. This may help understand gender-dependent pathogenesis of sleep disorders and develop therapeutic strategies in men and women.

Purpose: This study is to summarize of Western-Eastern books and articles on sleep disturbances and to analyze the trends of nursing research in Korea. Methods: The Western-Eastern books and articles on sleep disturbances were comprehensively reviewed. The 70 articles published from 1981-2008 of Korean nursing research about sleep disturbances were reviewed using a structured form. Results: In Oriental medicine, the main cause of sleep disorder is unbalance of Yin and Yang, the treatments are herb therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, psychotherapy, sleep hygiene, etc. In Western medicine, the International Classification of Sleep disorder is dyssomnia, parasomnia, mental/neurologic or other medical disorders, proposed sleep disorder and the treatments are pharmacotherapy, cure treatment of sleep hygiene, cause, behavior and perception. The number of nursing research and experimental study about sleep disorder in Korea is increasing. The most common subjects were hospitalized patients and the elderly, Of the 34 experimental studies, foot reflexology was the most commonly used as a nursing intervention. Conclusions: Nurses should concern more on patients' or clients' sleep disturbances to increase their quality of life. This literature study is useful for the access to effective nursing intervention for sleep disturbances.
