Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Sleep State Misperception in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known regarding the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on sleep misperception in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Methods

Sleep state perception was measured by subtracting the objective total sleep time from the subjective sleep duration. Sleep underestimation and overestimation were defined as ± 60 minutes sleep perception. Insomnia and depressive symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Finally, nonparametric statistical analyses were performed.

Results

Of the 339 patients with OSA included in the study, 90 (26.5%) and 45 (13.3%) showed sleep underestimation and overestimation, respectively. Overall, a significant underestimation of sleep was noted during CPAP titration comparing to a diagnostic PSG (P < 0.001). OSA
