Abstract

Background
Little is known regarding the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on sleep misperception in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods
Sleep state perception was measured by subtracting the objective total sleep time from the subjective sleep duration. Sleep underestimation and overestimation were defined as ± 60 minutes sleep perception. Insomnia and depressive symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Finally, nonparametric statistical analyses were performed.
Results
Of the 339 patients with OSA included in the study, 90 (26.5%) and 45 (13.3%) showed sleep underestimation and overestimation, respectively. Overall, a significant underestimation of sleep was noted during CPAP titration comparing to a diagnostic PSG (P < 0.001). OSA patients with insomnia or depressive symptoms did not show any changes in sleep perception between diagnostic and CPAP titration studies, whereas those without insomnia or depressed mood showed significantly underestimated sleep duration during CPAP titration. Patients with OSA and either underestimated or overestimated misperception showed perceptual improvements during CPAP titration regardless of the presence of insomnia or depressive symptoms. However, of 204 patients with normal sleep perception, 138 (67.6%) and 10 (4.9%) had underestimation and overestimation of sleep during CPAP titration.
Conclusion
CPAP titration may improve sleep perception with moderate to severe OSA who have sleep misperception. However, CPAP titration may result in sleep misperception especially underestimation of sleep in those who have normal sleep perception.
