Primary sleep disorders:
Primary sleep disorders are those disorders not attributable to another cause, which includes dyssomnias and parasomnias.
Dyssomnias: are primary disorders of initiating or maintaining sleep/ excessive sleepiness, characterized by abnormalities in the amount, quality, or timing of sleep.
Insomnia:
Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or nonrestorative sleep that lasts for 1 month and causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Hypersomnia:
Excessive sleepiness for atleast 1 month that involves either prolonged sleep episodes or daily daytime sleeping that causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other functioning.
Narcolepsy:
A rare sleep disorder in which a person, usually under the age of 20, has recurrent sudden episodes of irresistible sleep attacks of short duration 10 - 15 minutes (directly enters into REM sleep).
Breathing related sleep disorder:
Sleep disruption leading to excessive sleepiness or, less commonly, insomnia, caused by abnormalities in ventilation during sleep. These disorders include obstructive sleep apnea (repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction), central sleep apnea (episodic cessation of sventilation without airway obstruction), and central alveolar hypoventilation (hypoventilation resulting in low arterial oxygen levels).
Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder:
Persistent or recurring sleep disruption resulting from altered functioning of circadian rhythm or a mismatch between circadian rhythm and external demands. Subtypes include; delayed sleep phase, jet lag, shift work and unspecified.
Delayed sleep phase: A persistent pattern of late sleep onset and late awakening times, with an inability to fall asleep and awaken at a desired earlier time.
Jet lag: Sleepiness and alertness that occur at an inappropriate time of day relative to local time, occurring after repeated travel across more than one time zone.
Shift work: Insomnia during the major sleep period or excessive sleepiness during the major awake period associated with night shift work or frequently changing shift work.
Parasomnias: are disorders characterized by abnormal behavioral or psychological events associated with sleep, specific sleep stages, or sleep–wake transition. These disorders involve activation of physiological systems, such as the autonomic nervous system, motor system, or cognitive processes, at inappropriate times during sleep.
Nightmare disorder:
Repeated occurrence of frightening dreams that lead to waking from sleep.
Sleep terror disorder:
Repeated occurrence of abrupt awakenings from sleep associated with a panicky scream or cry.
Sleepwalking disorder (Somnambulism):
Repeated episodes of complex motor behavior initiated during sleep, including getting out of bed and walking around.
Sleep is an active, not passive, process where the body recuperates and the day's events are processed. It occurs in stages that progress from light to deep sleep and includes REM sleep characterized by eye movements. While sleep restores energy, its main functions are to maintain cognitive skills and normal functioning. The brain stem contains centers that induce sleep through inhibition of other areas, like the hypothalamus, while neurotransmitters like serotonin are also involved. Sleep cycles between non-REM and REM sleep in a regular pattern governed by activation and fatigue of neuronal centers in the brain.
This document discusses sleep patterns and sleep cycles. It explains that sleep occurs in cycles with 4 non-REM stages and 1 REM stage. Non-REM stages progress from light to deep sleep while REM sleep involves eye movements. Common sleep disorders like insomnia, hypersomnia, narcolepsy and sleep apnea are also outlined. Finally, the document discusses factors affecting sleep and some management strategies for sleep disorders.
Sleep is essential for health and cognitive function. It involves NREM and REM sleep stages measured using polysomnography. Common sleep disorders include insomnia, hypersomnolence, and narcolepsy. Insomnia is difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and is treated with sleep hygiene, relaxation, and medication. Hypersomnolence involves excessive daytime sleepiness and is treated with stimulants. Narcolepsy involves REM sleep intrusion and is diagnosed by decreased REM latency on polysomnography.
The document discusses the Johari window model, which is a tool used to illustrate self-awareness and mutual understanding between individuals or groups. It consists of four quadrants representing the open self (known to self and others), the unknowing self (known to others but not self), the private self (known to self but not others), and the unknown self (unknown to both self and others). Examples are provided for each quadrant to demonstrate how it applies to understanding a nurse's awareness of herself and how others perceive her when working with recovering alcoholics. The role of nurses in improving interpersonal relationships is also outlined, focusing on acceptance, emotional maturity, effective communication skills, and establishing rapport with patients.

The document outlines the role of the community health nurse in school health services. It discusses that the community health nurse plays a key role in promoting health, diagnosing and treating illnesses, preventing complications, and rehabilitating students. Specifically, the community health nurse is responsible for health promotion activities like immunizations and health education, early diagnosis and treatment of students, follow-up care, and prevention of recurrence of illnesses and their complications. The community health nurse also maintains health records and guides other health workers.
The document discusses environmental sanitation and its importance in promoting health and preventing disease. It defines environmental sanitation and outlines its key components, including water sanitation, waste disposal, food sanitation, air sanitation, and sanitation at the household and community levels. Specific practices to ensure proper sanitation in each area are described. Laws protecting the environment in India are also mentioned.
Methods of Epidemiology - Descriptive epidemiologyKrupa Mathew
This document provides an overview of descriptive epidemiology. Descriptive epidemiology involves observing the distribution of disease in a population in terms of time, place, and person. The key steps are: defining the population and disease, describing occurrences and distributions, measuring disease prevalence and incidence, comparing data to known indices, and formulating hypotheses about disease etiology. The goal is to identify characteristics associated with disease and ask questions that can provide clues about causation. Descriptive studies lay the groundwork for further analytical epidemiological research.
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations and the application of this study to control health problems. The basic measurements used in epidemiology include rates, ratios, and proportions to describe the occurrence of mortality, morbidity, disability, and other disease attributes in populations. Rates express the frequency of events over time, proportions express the relationship between parts and the whole, and ratios compare two rates or quantities. These measurements are essential tools for epidemiologists to investigate disease causation, describe population health status, and evaluate interventions.
This document discusses the concept of primary health care. It defines primary health care as essential health care that is universally accessible and affordable. The key elements outlined in primary health care are maternal and child health, immunization, disease prevention and control, treatment of common illnesses, and access to essential drugs. The principles of primary health care are equitable distribution of services, community participation, coordination between different sectors, use of appropriate technologies, and focus on prevention. The role of nurses in primary health care involves direct care provision, health education, planning and managing care, guiding and supervising other personnel.
Community health nurses use various approaches in their work, including the epidemiological approach, problem-solving approach, and evidence-based approach. The epidemiological approach involves studying disease distribution, determinants, and applying findings to control health problems. The problem-solving approach is a systematic process of defining problems, analyzing solutions, selecting the best solution, implementing it, and evaluating outcomes. The evidence-based approach integrates scientific evidence with clinical expertise to improve practices and patient outcomes.
Levels of prevention include primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from developing in a population through health education. Primary prevention occurs before disease onset through strategies like immunization and health promotion. Secondary prevention detects disease early through screening and treats it before complications arise. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and reducing impairments for patients with advanced disease.

Ventilation Perfusion Ratio, Physiological dead space and physiological shuntMedicoseAcademics
In this insightful lecture, Dr. Faiza, an esteemed Assistant Professor of Physiology, delves into the essential concept of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙), which is fundamental to understanding pulmonary physiology. Dr. Faiza brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS in Physiology, and multiple postgraduate degrees in public health and healthcare education.
The lecture begins by laying the groundwork with basic concepts, explaining the definitions of ventilation (V˙) and perfusion (Q˙), and highlighting the significance of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙). Dr. Faiza explains the normal value of this ratio and its critical role in ensuring efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
Next, the discussion moves to the impact of different V˙/Q˙ ratios on alveolar gas concentrations. Participants will learn how a normal, zero, or infinite V˙/Q˙ ratio affects the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Dr. Faiza provides a detailed comparison of alveolar gas concentrations in these varying scenarios, offering a clear understanding of the physiological changes that occur.
The lecture also covers the concepts of physiological shunt and dead space. Dr. Faiza defines physiological shunt and explains its causes and effects on gas exchange, distinguishing it from anatomical dead space. She also discusses physiological dead space in detail, including how it is calculated using the Bohr equation. The components and significance of the Bohr equation are thoroughly explained, and practical examples of its application are provided.
Further, the lecture examines the variations in V˙/Q˙ ratios in different regions of the lung and under different conditions, such as lying versus supine and resting versus exercise. Dr. Faiza analyzes how these variations affect pulmonary function and discusses the abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios seen in chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and their clinical implications.
Finally, Dr. Faiza explores the clinical implications of abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios. She identifies clinical conditions associated with these abnormalities, such as COPD and emphysema, and discusses the physiological and clinical consequences on respiratory function. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for medical professionals and students, highlighting their relevance in diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions.
This comprehensive lecture provides valuable insights for medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in respiratory physiology. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how ventilation and perfusion work together to optimize gas exchange in the lungs and how deviations from the norm can lead to significant clinical issues.

2. Definition
• Rest is a condition in which the body is in a decreased
state of activity without physical emotional stress and
freedom from anxiety.
• Sleep is a state of rest accompanied by altered level of
consciousness and relative inactivity, and perception to
environment are decreased
3. PHYSIOLOGY OF SLEEP
The cyclic nature of sleep is thought to be controlled
by Centers located in the brain and by Circadian
Rhythms.
Reticular activating system (RAS) located at the brain
stem and Cerebral Cortex plays an important role in
sleep wake cycle.
4. Sleep begins with the activation of
the pre optic area of the anterior
hypothalamus.
Sleep promoting neurons act over
wake promoting neurons by
releasing Gamma Amino Butyric
Acid (GABA).
The inhibition of wake promoting
neurons results in intensifying sleep
process.
Another key factor to sleep is
exposure to darkness.
5. Darkness and preparing for sleep
(e.g., lying down, decreasing noise)
cause a decrease in stimulation of
the RAS.
During this time, the Pineal gland
in the brain begins to actively
secrete the natural hormone
Melatonin, and the person feels less
alert.
With the beginning of daylight,
Melatonin is at its lowest level in
the body and the stimulating
hormone, Cortisol , is at its highest
causing wakefulness.
6. Circadian Rhythms
It is a sort of 24-hour internal
biological clock. The term
circadian is from the Latin “circa
dies”, meaning “about a day.”
Biological rhythms exist in plants,
animals, and humans.
In humans, these are controlled
from within the body and
synchronized with environmental
factors, such as light and darkness.
7. Types/ Stages/ Phases Of Sleep
Electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns,
eye movements and muscle activity are used to
identify stages of sleep.
The stages of sleep are classified into two
stages:
1. Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) Sleep
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
2. Rapid Eye Movement Stage(rem) Sleep.
During sleep, NREM and REM sleep alternate
in cycles
8. Non Rapid Eye Movement
(NREM) Sleep
First stage of sleep is known as
NREM sleep.
About 75% to 80% of sleep during
a night is NREM sleep.
It consists of four stages:
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
9. NREM Sleep
Stage 1: NREM
Stage lasts a few minutes.
It includes lightest level of sleep.
Gradual fall in vital signs and
metabolism.
General slowing of EEG frequency
Eyes tend to roll slowly from side
to side
Sensory stimuli such as noise
easily arouses person.
Sleeper may deny he is sleeping.
10. Stage 2: NREM
Stage lasts 10 to 20 minutes.
It is a period of sound sleep.
Relaxation progresses.
Further slowing of EEG
Absent eye ball movements
Body functions continue to slow.
Arousal remains relatively easy
11. Stage 3: NREM
Stage lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
It involves initial stages of deep
sleep.
Muscles are completely relaxed.
Large slow waves in EEG
Vital signs decline but remain
regular.
Sleeper is difficult to arouse and
rarely moves
12. Stage 4: NREM
Stage lasts approximately 15 to 30
minutes.
It is the deepest stage of sleep.
If sleep loss has occurred, sleeper spends
considerable portion of night in this
stage.
Vital signs are significantly lower than
during waking hours.
Further slowing of EEG
Sleepwalking and enuresis (bed-wetting)
sometimes occur.
It is very difficult to arouse sleeper
13. REM Sleep
Stage usually begins about 90
minutes after sleep has begun.
Dreaming occurs in this stage
Stage is typified by rapidly moving
eyes, fluctuating heart and respiratory
rates, increased or fluctuating blood
pressure, loss of skeletal muscle tone,
and increase of gastric secretions.
EEG pattern resembles that of awake
state.
It is very difficult to arouse sleeper.
15. FUNCTIONS OF SLEEP
Conservation of energy
Restoration of tissues and growth
Thermoregulation
Regulation of emotions- sleep
deprivation causes emotional
disorders like irritability, anxiety,
depression etc.
Neural maturation
Memory and learning- there will be
information transfer between
cerebral cortex and hippocampus
during sleep
17. FACTORS AFFECTING SLEEP
Both the quality and the quantity of sleep are
affected by a number of factors.
Sleep quality is a subjective characteristic
Quantity of sleep is the total time the individual
sleeps.
1. AGE
2. Illness - Illness that causes pain or physical
distress (e.g., arthritis, backpain) can result in
sleep problems
Examples: Respiratory conditions, Pain,
need to urinate during the night
18. 3. Environment
• Environment can promote or hinder sleep
• Any change—for example, noise in the
environment—can inhibit sleep.
• The absence of usual stimuli or the
presence of unfamiliar stimuli can prevent
people from sleeping
• Discomfort from environmental
temperature (e.g., too hot or cold) and lack
of ventilation can affect sleep
• Light levels can be another factor
• Another influence includes the comfort
and size of the bed.
• A person’s partner who has different sleep
habits, snores, or has other sleep difficulties
may become a problem for the person also.
19. 4. Lifestyle
• Following an irregular morning and
night time schedule can affect sleep.
• Night shift workers frequently obtain
less sleep than other workers and have
difficulty falling asleep.
5. Emotional Stress
• Stress is considered to be the major
cause of short-term sleeping difficulties .
• A person preoccupied with personal
problems (e.g., school- or job-related
pressures, family or marriage problems)
may be unable to relax sufficiently to get
to sleep.
20. 6. Stimulants and Alcohol
• Caffeine-containing beverages act as
stimulants of the central nervous
system (CNS). • Drinking beverages
containing Caffeine in the afternoon
or evening may interfere with sleep.
• Even though alcohol induces sleep,
it disturbs REM sleep causing
irritability.
7. Diet
• Certain foods induces sleep
• Ex: the L- tryptophan present in the
milk induces sleep
21. 8. Smoking
• Nicotine has a stimulating effect on
the body, and smokers often have
more difficulty falling asleep than non
smokers.
• Smokers can be easily aroused
9. Motivation
• Motivation can increase alertness in
some situations
• Ex: During the time of examination
Browsing internet in the late night
22. 10. Medications:
• Beta-blockers have been known to
cause insomnia.
• Narcotics, such as morphine, are
known to suppress REM sleep and to
cause frequent awakenings and
drowsiness.
• Most Hypnotics suppresses REM
sleep
23. SLEEP DISORDERS
Sleep disorders are mainly classified into 3 categories
1. DYSOMNIAS
2. PARASOMNIAS
3. DISORDERS DUE TO OTHER MEDICAL
CONDITIONS
24. DYSOMNIAS
• The sleep itself is pretty normal.
• But the client sleeps too little, too much,
or at the wrong time.
• So, the problem is with the amount
(quantity), or with its timing, and
sometimes with the quality of sleep
Common Dysomnias are:
Insomnia
Hypersomnia
Narcolepsy
Sleep Apnea
Insufficient Sleep/ Sleep Deprivation
25. Insomnia
Insomnia is described as the inability to fall
asleep or remain asleep.
Persons with insomnia awaken not feeling
rested.
Insomnia is the most common sleep
complaint.
Acute insomnia lasts one to several nights and
is often caused by personal stressors or worry.
If the insomnia persists for longer than a
month, it is considered Chronic insomnia
Insomnia can result from physicl discomfort
and more often from mental tension or anxiety.
People who are habituated to drugs or who
takes large amounts of alcohol are at high risk
for insomnia
26. Insomnia Clinical manifestations:
■ Difficulty falling asleep
■ Waking up frequently during the night
■ Difficulty returning to sleep
■ Waking up too early in the morning
■ Unrefreshing sleep
■ Daytime sleepiness
■ Difficulty concentrating
■ Irritability
Treatment is development of new
behavioral patterns that induces sleep
.Create a sleeping environment that
induces sleep . Create positive sleep
thoughts
27. Hypersomnia
Hypersomnia refers to conditions where
the affected individual obtains sufficient
sleep at night but still cannot stay awake
during the day.
Hypersomnia can be caused by medical
conditions, for example, CNS damage
and certain kidney, liver, or metabolic
disorders, such as diabetic acidosis and
hypothyroidism.
Treatment of hypersomnias include
treating the underlying disease conditions
28. Narcolepsy
• Narcolepsy is a disorder of excessive
daytime sleepiness caused by the lack of
the chemical hypocretin in the area of the
CNS that regulates sleep.
• Clients with narcolepsy have sleep
attacks or excessive daytime sleepiness,
and their sleep at night usually begins
with a sleep-onset REM period (dreaming
sleep occurs within the first 15 minutes of
falling asleep).
• People sleeps several times a day even
when they are conversing with people or
while driving.
• CNS stimulants and Antidepressants are
the drugs used to treat narcolepsy.
29. Sleep Apnea
• Sleep Apnea is characterized by frequent short
breathing pauses during sleep.
• Although all individuals have occasional
periods of apnea during sleep, more than five
apneic episodes longer than 10 seconds in an
hour is considered abnormal and should be
evaluated by a sleep medicine specialist.
• Sleep Apnea is most frequently diagnosed in
men and postmenopausal women, it may occur
during childhood.
Three types of apnoea based on the cause
1. Obstructive Apnoea
2. Central Apnea
3. Mixed Apnea
30. 1. OBSTRUCTIVE APNOEA:
• Obstructive apnea occurs when the
structures of the pharynx or oral cavity
block the flow of air.
• Enlarged tonsils and adenoids, a
deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, and
obesity predispose the client to obstructive
apnea
• Treatment includes surgical removal of
tonsills, correcting nasal septum, weight
loss may be helpful.
31. 2. CENTRAL APNEA:
• Due to defect in the respiratory centre
of the brain.
• Clients who have brainstem injuries
and often have central sleep apnea.
3.MIXED APNOEA
• Mixed apnoea is combination of
obstructive and central apnea
32. Insufficient Sleep/ Sleep Deprivation
• A prolonged disturbance in quality and quantity
of sleep can lead to a syndrome called as sleep
deprivation.
• It is not a sleep disorder but result of prolonged
sleep disturbance.
• It produces various physiological and
behavioural symptoms based on the severity of
deprivation.
Insufficient Sleep/ Sleep Deprivation Individuals
may develop:
• Attention and concentration deficits
• Reduced vigilance
• Distractibility
• Reduced motivation
• Fatigue
• Diplopia and dry mouth
33. PARASOMNIAS
• Something abnormal occurs during
sleep itself, or during the times when
the client is falling asleep or waking up
• The quality, quantity, and timing of the
sleep are essentially normal.
• Most common DISORDERS are:
Bruxism
Enuresis
Periodic limb movement disorder
Sleep talking
Sleep walking
34. Bruxism
Usually occurring during stage II
NREM sleep, characterized by clenching
and grinding of the teeth. This clenching
and grinding of the teeth can eventually
erode dental crowns, cause teeth to come
loose, and lead to deterioration of the
temporomandibular (TMJ) joint, called
TMJ syndrome
Enuresis.
Bed-wetting during sleep occuring
in children over 3 years old. More males
than females are affected. It often occurs 1
to 2 hours after falling asleep.
35. Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD).
In this condition, the legs jerk twice or
three times per minute during sleep. It is most
common among older adults. Respond well
to medications such as levodopa,
pramipexole , ropinirole, and gabapentin
Sleeptalking.
Talking during sleep occurs during
NREM sleep before REM sleep. It rarely
presents a problem to the person unless it
becomes troublesome to others
Sleepwalking.
Sleepwalking (somnambulism) occurs
during stages III and IV of NREM sleep. It is
episodic and usually occurs 1 to 2 hours after
falling asleep. Sleepwalkers tend not to notice
dangers (e.g., stairs) and often need to be
protected from injury
36. Disorders due to other medical
conditions
• These disorders are associated with
Medical or Psychiatric or other illness
Usually the disorders that cause sleep
disturbance includes:
• Depression
• Alcolism
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Peptic ulcer
• COPD- chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease
37. Nursing Interventions To
Promote Sleep
1. Sleep-Wake Pattern
• Maintain a regular bedtime and wake-
up schedule
• Eliminate day time naps. If naps are
taken, limit to 20 minutes or less twice a
day
• Instruct the client to go to bed when
sleepy.
• Use warm bath and relaxation
techniques
• If unable to sleep in 15 to 30 minutes,
get out of bed and persue some
relaxation activity.
38. • Establish a regular, relaxing
bedtime routine before sleep such
as reading, listening to soft music,
taking a warm bath, or doing some
other quiet activity.
• Avoid dealing with office work or
family problems before bedtime
• Get adequate exercise during the
day to reduce stress, but avoid
excessive physical exertion at least
3 hours before bedtime.
39. 2. Environment:
• Create a sleep-conducive
environment that is dark, quiet,
comfortable, and cool.
• Keep noise to a minimum; block out
extraneous noise as necessary with
white noise from a fan, air
conditioner.
• Sleep on a comfortable mattress and
pillows.
• Listen to relaxing music
• Increase exposure to bright light
during the day
40. 3. Diet:
• Limit alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine
in late afternoon and evening
• Consume carbohydrates or milk as a
light snack before bedtime.
• Avoid heavy and spicy foods. Heavy
or spicy foods can cause
gastrointestinal upsets that disturb
sleep
• Decrease fluids 2 to 4 hours before
sleep
41. 4.Medications:
• Use sleeping medications only as a
last resort • Minimize the usage of
medicines as much as possible
because many contain antihistamines
that cause daytime drowsiness.
• Take analgesics 30 mins before
bedtime to relieve aches and pains.
• Consult the health care provider
about adjusting other medications that
may cause insomnia
