Sleep in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Sleep macro- and micro-architecture | Increased stage 1 sleep Decreased REM and slow-wave sleep Decreased sleep efficiency Increased WASO Increased arousal index |
Respiratory pattern | Increased respiratory frequency during sleep Rapid and shallow breathing (especially during REM sleep) |
Nocturnal oxygenation parameters | Episodic desaturation during REM sleep Desaturation during NREM sleep Desaturation due to respiratory events (apnoeas and hypopnoeas) |
Sleep disordered breathing | Increased incidence of obstructive sleep apnoea |
Other sleep problems | Increased periodic leg movements during sleep Insomnia Nocturnal cough |
REM: rapid eye movement; WASO: wake time after sleep onset; NREM: non-REM.
