BACKGROUND Daytime sleepiness is common in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Although respiratory events during sleep are associated with the occurrence of daytime sleepiness, the differential impact of these events during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep on daytime sleepiness has not been well characterized. STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of respiratory events during REM sleep and NREM sleep on daytime sleepiness, as assessed by the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University-based sleep disorders laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Patients referred for polysomnography and daytime MSLT (n=1,821). INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS The study sample was initially divided into quartiles based on the level of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) during NREM sleep. Within the first NREM-AHI quartile (NREM-AHI < 8.3 events/hr), the association between REM-related respiratory events and daytime sleepiness was examined using the method of Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, and the duration of NREM and REM sleep, REM-AHI was not associated with daytime sleepiness (Relative Risk: 1.01; 95%CI: 0.94-1.10). Similarly, no significant association was observed between REM-AHI and the MSLT in patients within the second through fourth NREM-AHI quartiles. In contrast, increasing severity of disordered breathing during NREM sleep was associated with daytime sleepiness. For a 10-point increase in NREM-AHI, the adjusted relative risks for daytime sleepiness in the second through fourth NREM-AHI quartile were 1.21 (95%CI: 1.01-1.46), 1.20 (95%CI: 1.05-1.37), and 1.10 (95%CI: 1.04-1.16), respectively. CONCLUSION Sleep-disordered breathing during NREM sleep, but not REM sleep, is associated with increased risk of daytime sleepiness.
