Prevalence of self-reported sleep problems amongst adults with obstructive airway disease in the NHANES cohort in the United States.

CONCLUSION: All OADs are associated with a higher prevalence of sleep problems. There is a stronger association between asthma and sleep problems as compared to COPD and ACO. We speculate that the nocturnal burden of asthma contributes to sleep problems. Our results suggest that adults with OAD should be aggressively screened for sleep problems.
