Epidemiological Overview of sleep Disorders in the General Population
Open accessAbstract
Each of us will spend about 27 years of his or her lifetime sleeping.This fact alone explains why neuro-anatomists and neuro-physiologists have been studying sleep for over a century.The epidemiology of sleep, however, is a relatively young field of study, although physicians have always been interested in knowing how widespread abnormal sleep phenomena are in the population.The field of sleep disorders encompasses a broad range of phenomena; such as insomnia, excessive sleepiness, sleep apnea and many other sleep disorders.They are traditionally divided into two broad categories: dyssomnias and parasomnias.The dyssomnias are characterized by abnormalities in the quantity or quality of sleep and its cycles.They are associated with difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or excessive sleepiness.This article focuses on sleep disorders most often studied in the general population.It is divided into four main topics: insomnia and its disorders, excessive sleepiness and its disorders, breathing-related sleep disorders and restless legs syndrome (RLS). INsOmNIa aND ITs DIsORDeRsOver 50 epidemiological studies of insomnia have been conducted worldwide.1 To date, there is no consensus on how to define insomnia in the general population.Consequently, the prevalence rates for insomnia in the general population vary greatly depending on the definition used.However, the epidemiological approach to measure insomnia can be summarized into two broad categories 1) dissatisfaction with sleep quantity 2) dissatisfaction with the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
