Abstract:
Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness,
relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced
interactions with surroundings.The immune system is activated by sleep [NREM sleep:
Especially deep sleep). Both viral and bacterial infections cause prolongation of NREM sleep.
Interleukin 1 and Tumor Necrosis Factor (cytokines) are increased when sleeping after sleep
interfering. Many of these cytokines are secreted during NREM sleep. Also, lymphocytes.
natural killer cells are activated. Chronic pain is found in 11-29% of the population (facial pain,
low back pain, rheumatism, fibromyalgia) and the patient sleep quallty is deteriorated. It is found more tenderness paints after blocking the good sleep. The analgesic effect by good sleep after
disturbing deep sleep is clearly more powerful than analgesics. Relationship with lifestyle diseases
There is a significant association between patients (AHÄ° > 15] and hypertension. The odds ratio is 18. Incidence of cerebro / cardiovoscular disease in pationts (AHI > 20) reaches 4
to 5 times that of healthy subjects. Mortality rate of patients with sleep apnea is three times
higher.
