Subjective and objective features of sleep disorders in patients with acute ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke
Introduction: More than one third of stroke patients develop sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, insomnia, and hypersomnia. However, scientific sleep data, especially based on polysomnography analysis, in the group of stroke patients are scarce. The aim of the study was to investigate the subjective and objective sleep parameters in the patients with an acute ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke.

Challenges and Motivating Factors Related to Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Post-TIA and Stroke Patients.
This study, nested within a randomized controlled trial of CPAP use, employed qualitative methods to explore challenges and motivators related to CPAP at two time points: prior to initiating therapy and at a 1-month follow up. Emergent thematic analysis, an inductive, qualitative approach, revealed variations in how patients experienced and adapted to CPAP across five phases: (a) interpreting the sleep apnea diagnosis, (b) contemplating CPAP therapy, (c) trying CPAP therapy, (d) making mid-course adjustments, and (e) experiencing benefits from CPAP therapy. Patients all had mild to moderate sleep apnea, and frequently did ...

Sleep apnea and stroke in young women: the many faces of the disorder
Sleep apnea, whether central or obstructive, is a risk factor for vascular disease in general, particularly cerebrovascular disease . It is not under dispute that sleep apnea should be considered a significant risk factor for stroke ; however, there is considerable discussion regarding the mechanisms by which sleep apnea increases the risk. Any steps in the direction of revealing more pathophysiologic mechanisms are welcome, as these steps will provide a much higher chance of instituting effective prophylactic therapies with a better understanding of the pathologic process involved. In recent publications, factors such as ...

Short sleepers or sleep deprivation: finding the real risk factor for ischemic stroke
Total sleep time (TST) has been reported as an influencing factor in triggering stroke. However, this association is still divergent. Several studies suggest a J-shaped or a U-shaped relationship between the sleep duration 7–8h and the risk for stroke. In both J-shaped and U-shaped studies, it was observed that sleep durations

Sleep apnea syndrome and patent foramen ovale: a dangerous association in ischemic stroke?
• A prospective case-control study in which we included ischaemic stroke patients.• They were all comprehensively phenotyped with c-TCD and sleep polygraphy.• There is no evidence of an association of PFO and SAS in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic stroke.

Changes in ischemic stroke occurrence following Daylight saving time transitions
Circadian rhythm disruption has been associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS). Daylight saving time (DST) transitions disrupt circadian rhythms and shifts the pattern of diurnal variation in stroke onset, but effects on the incidence of IS are unknown.

Sleep duration and risk of stroke: a dose –response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies
Suboptimal sleep duration has been considered to increase the risk of stroke incidence. Thus we aimed to conduct a dose –response meta-analysis to examine the association between sleep duration and stroke incidence.

Spontaneous Improvement in Both Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cognitive Impairment after Stroke
Knowledge available about the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cognitive impairment after stroke is limited. The evolution of OSA and cognitive performance after stroke is not sufficiently described.

Obstructive sleep apnea exaggerates cognitive dysfunction in stroke patients
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common in stroke survivors. It potentially worsens the cognitive dysfunction and inhibits their functional recovery. However, whether OSA independently damages the cognitive function in stroke patients is unclear. A simple method for evaluating OSA-induced cognitive impairment is also missing.

Restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements after lacunar stroke
Although anatomical and physiological considerations suggest a possible causality between subcortical brain areas lesions and emergence of sleep-related movement disorders, few data are available regarding the association between restless legs syndrome/periodic limb movements (RLS/PLM) and lacunar stroke [1]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and the lesion topography of new-onset RLS/PLM in patients with lacunar stroke. In addition, we tried to add some details about the characterization of sleep-related movement disorders in relation to the site and side of the ischemic lesion.

Is level III polygraphy a feasible and valid method to diagnose OSA in stroke patients?
Introduction: Portable sleep recording devices have been developed to shorten the delay in sleep apnea diagnosis. In stroke patients current AASM guidelines still recommend attended polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of sleep apnea. The aim of this study was to compare feasibility and validity of non-attended type III polygraphy (PG) to a type II PSG in the d iagnosis of sleep apnea in a stroke rehabilitation unit.

PAP adherence of stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea after a novel treatment strategie during in-hospital rehabilitation
Introduction: Meta-analyses report a high prevalence of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) of more than 50% in stroke patients, with adherence rates for positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy of only 30%. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether PAP adherence in stroke patients with OSA can be improved by a novel, coaching like, PAP training strategy during in-hospital rehabilitation.
