People with IBD evidence more microarousals during sleep architecture assessments.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Poor sleep is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may be associated with overall worse disease outcomes. While the sleep/IBD literature is growing, the data are often self-reported. Further, much of the research using objective measures of sleep architecture, or the overall pattern of sleep depth, rely on single-night assessments, which can be of questionable validity.

Design

Participants with IBD and healthy controls were recruited from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center as part of a two-phase clinical trial. Sleep architecture was assessed using three nights of in-home electroencephalographic monitoring and scored according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines.

Results

Our sample included 15 participants with IBD and 8 healthy co
