Abstract
Patients with neurological disorders may have comorbid sleep disorders of any kind—in part simply because disorders like sleep apnea and insomnia are common, but direct or indirect causal links are also plausible. These are often bidirectional—meaning that certain disorders may increase the risk of developing a sleep disorder, just as certain sleep disorders may increase the risk of developing a neurological disorder. Sleep disturbance (whether incidental or causally related) may have deleterious impact on neurological function in patients that are compromised by their illness, or neurological recovery in settings where plasticity occurs (such as post-stroke). Whether or not causality is known within a given patient, it is arguable that investigating and treating underlying sleep disorders has great potential to improve quality of life, and possibly objective neurological function or outcomes, as many disorders in sleep medicine are treatable and should be sought in these vulnerable populations.
