Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturia and disturbed sleep in the elderly
Donald L. Bliwise,Daniel J. Foley,Michael V. Vitiello,Farzaneh Pour Ansari,Sonia Ancoli-Israel,James K. Walsh +5 more
TL;DR: Nocturia is a frequently overlooked cause of poor sleep in the elderly and may warrant targeted interventions, along with female gender and other medical and psychiatric conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daytime sleepiness and functional impairment in Alzheimer disease.
Jung Hie Lee,Donald L. Bliwise,Farzaneh Pour Ansari,Felicia C. Goldstein,Janet S. Cellar,James J. Lah,Allan I. Levey +6 more
TL;DR: Even apart from its association with impaired cognition, daytime sleepiness was associated with functional impairment in AD patients and its presence may be associated with greater impairment in instrumental activities and may warrant intervention.
Journal Article
Inter-rater Reliability for Identification of REM Sleep in Parkinson's Disease
TL;DR: The results suggest that, despite suspension of REM sleep atonia accompanying PD, trained scorers can distinguish REM from wakefulness and NREM sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age changes in timing and 24-hour distribution of self-reported sleep.
TL;DR: These results confirm previous cross-sectional studies and suggest a complex biopsychosocial matrix for the timing and placement of sleep in elderly persons within the 24-hour day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of electromyographic activity during sleep : A phasic electromyographic metric
TL;DR: Systematic application of a visual scoring system for short-duration phasic EMG activity recorded from five different muscle groups indicated that PEM is a normal part of REM sleep in all muscle groups and may be a useful metric amenable to quantification with digital techniques.
