Sleep and Health (or, Why should we bother to think about sleep in the context of mind-body research? Martica Hall, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychiatry University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine hallmh@upmc.edu Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center Summer Institute Pittsburgh, PA June 8, 2007
2
SLEEP What is it? How is it measured? What affects it? Is it related to health? What can we do about it? Where do we go from here?
3
Overview: Description of sleep What is sleep? behavioral state of relative quiescence reversible changes in consciousness and physiology seen in all mammals essential to health and functioning What drives sleep? prior wakefulness circadian rhythms Habit Circumstance
4
Overview: Functions of sleep Ecological/ environmental advantage Improves the quality of wakefulness –Alertness –Mood –Cognitive (especially frontal lobe) functions Integration of experience; learning Resensitization of receptors (e.g., norepinephrine, serotonin) Metabolic, inflammatory effects Longevity
5
Assessment of sleep-wake states Self-report questionnaires Sleep-wake diaries: Daily recording of sleep times and characteristics Observer ratings: Unreliable Actigraphy: Motion-sensitive accelerometer worn on wrist Polysomnography (PSG): Modification of electroencephalography (EEG) –EEG –Eye movements –Muscle tone

Actigraphy Daytime activity peaks Nighttime inactivity Actigraph taken off

Factors that affect sleep Age –Increased wakefulness during sleep period –Decreased Stage 3/4 NREM –Earlier timing –Greater daytime sleepiness Sex (women have longer sleep, more Stage 3/4 NREM) Timing: Sleep is best at night! Illnesses, medications

HEALTH SLEEP SLEEP Sleep Restriction/Deprivation Sleep Duration Sleep Continuity Sleep Architecture Sleep/Wake Rhythms Sleep Disorders Mind-Body Sleep Research: Bridging the Gap Between Behavioral Medicine and Sleep Medicine

Sleep Restriction & Glucose Metabolism Glucose Effectiveness 30 – 40% decrease Sympathovagal Balance (trend) increase Spiegel et al., Lancet, 354:1435-9 (1999). Ghrelin : Leptin 70% increase Carbohydrate Craving 30% Increase Spiegel et al., Ann Intern. Med, 141:846-50 (2004). GLUCOSE(mg/dL)LEPTIN(ng/ml)

Sleep and the Metabolic Syndrome U-Shaped curvilinear relationship: Metabolic Syndrome: odds of meeting criteria increased by 60 - 70% Glucose: odds of meeting criteria increased by 60 - 70% Unique to Short Sleepers: Abdominal Obesity: odds of meeting criteria increased by 50 – 60% Triglycerides: odds of meeting criteria increased by 40% Unique to Long Sleepers: n/a Not Significant: Blood pressure, HDL Results are similar to those found for sleep quality (Jennings, Muldoon, Hall, Buysse, Manuck, Sleep, 2007).

Treatment for insomnia BehavioralPharmacologic

Classes of pharmacologic agents used to treat insomnia Benzodiazepine receptor agonists –True benzodiazepine –“Non-benzodizepines” Melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists Sedating antidepressants (trazodone, doxepin) Antihistamines (diphenhydramine, doxylamine) Valerian, “natural” agents Sedating second generation antipsychotics Miscellaneous: gabapentin, tiagabine
41
Behavioral treatments for insomnia A diverse set of behavioral prescriptions… –All involve some change in the patient’s behavior –Of the patient, by the patient, for the patient –Use voluntary, waking behavior to influence sleep-wake balance …designed to improve the quality of nocturnal sleep –Reduce sleep onset latency, intermittent wakefulness –Increase sleep duration (?), sleep efficiency –Regularize sleep timing, increase predictability A diverse set of behavioral prescriptions designed to improve the quality of nocturnal sleep
42
Behavioral treatments for insomnia TechniqueAim Sleep hygiene education Promote habits that help sleep; eliminate habits that hurt sleep Stimulus control Strengthen bed/bedroom as sleep stimulus Sleep restriction therapy Restrict time in bed to improve sleep depth/consolidation Cognitive behavior therapy Address maladaptive thoughts and beliefs Relaxation training Reduce physical/psychological arousal
