Is sleep cycling alternating pattern ( CAP ) expression associated with hypersomnia and GH secretory pattern in Prader-Willi syndrome?
Our study suggests a relationship between hypersomnia and CAP rate, and between CAP expression and GH secretory pattern in PWS, possibly reflecting underlying central dysfunctions.
Insomnia with short sleep duration is associated with increased risk of hypertension, to a degree comparable to that of other common sleep disorders, e.g., SDB. Objective sleep duration may predict the severity of chronic insomnia a prevalent condition whose medical impact has been apparently underestimated.
