Zusammenfassung

Einige Schlafstörungen sind in der Bevölkerung weitverbreitet. Am häufigsten sind das Restless-Legs-Syndrom, die Insomnien und die Schlafapnoen. Diese Schlafstörungen sind inzwischen gut beschrieben und können schnell diagnostiziert und behandelt werden. Da sie Risikofaktoren für kardiovaskuläre, metabolische und psychiatrische Erkrankungen sind, sind die frühe Diagnostik und Therapie zur Prävention dieser Folgen von großer Bedeutung. Die Leistungseinschränkungen durch die Störungen – sei es durch Tagesschläfrigkeit, unterbrochenen Nachtschlaf oder kognitive Defizite – können zu einer erheblichen Minderung der Lebensqualität führen. Die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Empfehlungen wurden aus der S3-Leitlinie „Nicht erholsamer Schlaf/Schlafstörungen“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Schlafforschung und Schlafmedizin entnommen. Die Evidenzgrade wurden gemäß des Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine festgelegt.

Abstract

Some sleep disorders are frequently found in the general population. The most common include restless legs syndrome, insomnia, and sleep apnea. These sleep disorders are well classified and can easily be diagnosed and treated. Since they are risk factors for cardiovascular and psychiatric disorders, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent these sequelae. The impairments caused by these sleep disorders (e.g., due to daytime sleepiness, sleep disruption, or cognitive deficits) can result in a significant reduction in a person’s quality of life. The diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations were taken from the S3 guideline “Nonrestorative sleep/sleep disorders” by the German Sleep Society. The levels of evidence were given according to the recommendations of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine.
