Abstract: | Study ObjectivesConventional metrics of sleep quantity/depth have serious shortcomings. Odds-Ratio-Product (ORP) is a continuous metric of sleep depth ranging from 0 (very deep sleep) to 2.5 (full-wakefulness). We describe an ORP-based approach that provides information on sleep disorders not apparent from traditional metrics.MethodsWe analyzed records from the Sleep-Heart-Health-Study and a study of performance deficit following sleep deprivation. ORP of all 30-second epochs in each PSG and percent of epochs in each decile of ORPs range were calculated. Percentage of epochs in deep sleep (ORP < 0.50) and in full-wakefulness (ORP > 2.25) were each assigned a rank, 1–3, representing first and second digits, respectively, of nine distinct types (“1,1”, “1,2” … ”3,3”). Prevalence of each type in clinical groups and their associations with demographics, sleepiness (Epworth-Sleepiness-Scale, ESS) and quality of life (QOL; Short-Form-Health-Survey-36) were determined.ResultsThree types (“1,1”, “1,2”, “1,3”) were prevalent in OSA and were associated with reduced QOL. Two (“1,3” and “2,3”) were prevalent in insomnia with short-sleep-duration (insomnia-SSD), but only “1,3” was associated with poor sleep depth and reduced QOL, suggesting two phenotypes in insomnia-SSD. ESS was high in types “1,1” and “1,2”, and low in “1,3” and “2,3”. Prevalence of some types increased with age while in others it decreased. Other types were either rare (“1,1” and “3,3”) or high (“2,2”) at all ages.ConclusionsThe proposed ORP histogram offers specific and unique information on the underlying neurophysiological characteristics of sleep disorders not captured by routine metrics, with potential of advancing diagnosis and management of these disorders. |
