The document discusses sleep physiology and sleep disorders. It defines sleep and describes two types of sleep. It discusses basic theories of sleep including the passive theory and evidence that sleep is caused by an active inhibitory process in the brain stem. It also discusses the possible role of serotonin in sleep. The document then classifies sleep disorders according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders into 7 main categories and describes some of the main disorders. Finally, it lists some common factors that can cause sleep problems.

GANGGUAN TIDUR Sofya Sugi Setyawati Sembiring (180100016) • Sleep is defined as unconsciousness from which the person can be aroused by sensory or other stimuli. Two types of sleep: Basic Theories of Sleep • An earlier theory of sleep was that the excitatory areas of the upper brain stem, the reticular activating system, simply fatigued during the waking day and became inactive as a result. This was called the passive theory of sleep. • An important experiment changed this view to the current belief that sleep is caused by an active inhibitory process: it was discovered that transecting the brain stem at the level of the midpons creates a brain whose cortex never goes to sleep. In other words, there seems to be some center located below the midpontile level of the brain stem that is required to cause sleep by inhibiting other parts of the brain. • A Possible Specific Role for Serotonin: when a drug that blocks the formation of serotonin is administered to an animal, the animal often cannot sleep for several days. Physiologic Effects of Sleep • Effects on the nervous system itself • Effects on other functional systems of the body • sleep in multiple ways restores both normal levels of brain activity and normal “balance” among the different functions of the central nervous system • Prolonged wakefulness is often associated with progressive malfunction of the thought processes and sometimes even causes abnormal behavioral activities International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3 (ICSD-3) 1. Insomnia 2. Sleep-related breathing disorders 3. Central disorders of hypersomnolence 4. Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders 5. Parasomnias 6. Sleep-related movement disorders 7. Other sleep disorders

1394. doi:10.1378/chest.14-0970 Insomnia • Def: difficulty in initiation and maintenance of sleep, poor quality of sleep, and a insufficient duration of sleep, such that functioning in the awake state is impaired. Sleep-related breathing disorders • Def: abnormal respiration during sleep Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence • Def: inability to stay awake and alert during the day, leading to periods of irresistible need to sleep, or unintended lapses into drowsiness or sleep Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders • Def: desynchronization between internal sleep-wake rhythms and the light-darkness cycle Parasomnias • Def: unpleasant or undesirable behavioral or experiential phenomena occurring predominately or exclusively during sleep. Sleep-related movement disorders • Def: conditions that are primarily characterized by simple, often stereotyped movements occurring during sleep. Other sleep disorders • Other sleep-related symptoms or events that do not meet the standard definition of a sleep disorder Factors that can cause sleep problems • Physical disturbances (for example, chronic pain from arthritis, headaches, fibromyalgia) • Medical issues (for example, sleep apnea) • Psychiatric disorders (for example, depression and anxiety disorders) • Environmental issues (for example, it's too bright, partner snores) • Genetics: Researchers have found a genetic basis for narcolepsy, a neurological disorder of sleep regulation that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. • Night shift work: People who work at night often experience sleep disorders, because they cannot sleep when they start to feel drowsy. Their activities run contrary to their biological clocks. • Medications: Many drugs can interfere with sleep, such as certain antidepressants, blood pressure medication, and over-the-counter cold medicine. • Aging: About half of all adults over the age of 65 have some sort of sleep disorder. It is not clear if it is a normal part of aging or a result of medications that older people commonly use.
