• There is a high incidence of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders occurring in conjunction with CFS. The recognition and management of such sleep disorders can markedly improve symptoms and prevent secondary complications, such as weight gain, hypertension and even stroke. Patients at high risk (history of snoring, apneic periods, gasping awake, obesity and hypertension, short neck and/or retrognathism) should be strongly considered for sleep monitoring. ...

• 4 With increasing knowledge of the effects of obesity and sleep on respiration, ventilatory control during sleep, and sleep-disordered breathing syndromes, we should be able to further explore the pathogenesis of OHS. ...
• In this issue of CHEST (see page 369), Kessler et al have, in a prospective study, further defined a cohort of OHS patients and have identified differences between this group, those with "pure" obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and those with COPD and OSAS. The study shows that OHS patients were older, more obese, and by definition had more deranged daytime arterial blood gas values, more restricted lung function, more severe arterial oxygen desaturation during sleep, and had higher pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance than the patients in the pure OSAS group. When comparing the OHS patients to the COPD plus OSAS patients, the former were more obese, had more deranged daytime arterial blood gas values, and more severe arterial oxygen desaturation during sleep then the latter group. ... The three patient groups had, on average, severe OSAS with no between-group differences in the apnea index and the apena and hypopnea index. ... 6 7 8 9 Clinically, the major "take home" messages are as follows: (1) OHS patients have high prevalence of OSAS in addition to nocturnal hypoventilation unrelated to upper-airway obstruction6 8 9 ; (2) pulmonary hypertension is uncommon in pure OSAS patients, especially in the presence of relatively normal daytime arterial blood gas levels6 ; (3) patients with significant COPD plus OSAS and patients with OHS have a high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension7 10 ; (4) the severity of OSAS as measured by AI and AHI does not predict those patients with daytime hypercapnia and hypoxia, whatever the cause11 12 ; (5) patients with OHS have more profound arterial oxygen desaturation during sleep than pure OSAS patients and COPD plus OSAS patients8 ; and (6) COPD is not a prerequisite for the development of OHS. ...

• In normal subjects, ventilation during nonrapid eye movement sleep decreases by 10 to 15% when compared to wakefulness, and in rapid eye movement sleep the changes in ventilation compared to wakefulness are variable. 26 27 Becker et al28 have recently shown that minute ventilation in OHS patients is decreased by 21% in nonrapid eye movement sleep and by 39% in rapid eye movement sleep compared to wakefulness, with the majority of the decreased ventilation due to reduced tidal volume. ...
• Is it possible from our current knowledge to speculate about a unifying concept for the pathogenesis of OHS? As noted previously, these patients are susceptible to obesity-related respiratory muscle fatigue that may be worsened by coexistent OSAS or increased upper-airway resistance during sleep. ...

• Sleep-related breathing disorders, ranging from habitual snoring to the increased upper airway resistance syndrome to sleep apnea, are now recognized as major health problems. ... Until recently, the coexistence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with sleep-related breathing disorders was thought to be the result of shared risk factors, such as age, sex, and obesity. However, in the past 5 years several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that sleep-related breathing disorders are an independent risk factor for hypertension, probably resulting from a combination of intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, arousals, increased sympathetic tone, and altered baroreflex control during sleep. Sleep apnea may lead to the development of cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension. Early recognition and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders may improve cardiovascular function.
• Within the past 15 years, there have been important advances in understanding the pathophysiology of sleep-related breathing disorders, including habitual snoring, increased upper airway resistance syndrome, and sleep apnea. Sleep-related breathing disorders have been recognized as important causes of morbidity and mortality (1-11). Among adults, sleep apnea is more common than asthma. In the United States, approximately 12 million people 30 to 60 years of age have obstructive sleep apnea (2), and 38,000 die each year from cardiovascular disease attributed to sleep-related breathing disorders (3). ... 5 million have sleep apnea, including 46% with moderate or severe disease (12). Among nursing home residents, up to half have clinically important sleep apnea.

• Though I do come from a long line of prodigious snorers (when we were teens my sister once slept in a hotel bathtub to get away from my father's snoring), I don't believe I have sleep apena--just a good ol' all-American snore: loud, even and annoying. I did, however, have an upstairs neighbor whose sleep apnea was so bad it woke me up with a start several times at night--even with all the windows closed. I really wanted to tell him about my concerns, but how do you tell a stranger he's got sleep apnea?.

• For the past 25 years, the alpha delta NREM sleep abnormality has been used by some as a defining or legitimizing marker for poorly defined rheumatic diseases such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. ... There i much evidence that this sleep EEG pattern is not only non-specific, but may actually reflect a sleep maintaining process. The sleep fragmentation theory of the complaint of non-restorative sleep in this patient population is invalidated by the fact that conditions characterized by severe sleep fragmentation, such as obstructive sleep apnea are not associated with musculoskeletal symptoms. It is difficult to attribute musculoskeletal symptoms to disorders of sleep in view of the fact they the only organ of the body known to benefit from sleep or to be adversely affect by lack of sleep, is the brain. It is concluded that FM and CFS are associated with subjective sleep complaints but do not represent sleep disorders. ...

A group of 14 subjects with the periodic K-alpha anomaly was found to have a similar distribution pattern of interevent intervals as compared with previously published data for sleep-related periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS). Sleep parameters and somatic symptoms of 30 patients with K-alpha were compared with 30 patients with PLMS. The periodic K-alpha group was predominantly female, younger, exhibiting more slow-wave sleep, gastrointestinal symptoms and muscular complaints and fewer movement arousals on overnight polysomnography. The K-alpha group presented uniformly with complaints of unrefreshing sleep, often associated with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. The PLMS group was predominantly male, showed greater sleep disruption and presented with a variety of sleep-related symptoms. ...
