Daytime and Nighttime Sleep Characteristics and Pain Among Adults With Stable Heart Failure.

CONCLUSIONS: Pain is associated with self-reported poor sleep quality, napping, daytime sleepiness, and use of sleep medication. The relationship between pain and sleep characteristics differs based on the presence of insomnia and sleep duration. Studies are needed to evaluate the causal relationships between sleep and pain and test interventions for these cooccurring symptoms. PMID: 31365442 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
