Sleep and circadian parameters in Behcet's syndrome: a comparative analysis using actigraphy and questionnaires.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in Behçet syndrome (BS) patients. Within this population, sleep disturbances are frequently associated with active disease and comorbid fibromyalgia. However, possible sleep impairments in BS patients without these conditions remain poorly explored, along with BS patients' obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) risk and circadian rhythm preferences. We aimed to address these research gaps through a cross-sectional study comparing sleep and circadian parameters between BS patients, with or without active disease and comorbid fibromyalgia, and healthy controls (HCs).

Methods

Participants' sleep and circadian parameters were evaluated objectively via actigraphy and subjectively through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and th
