“…Sleep studies of PD patients with and without sleep attacks have documented both sleep-onset REM, and sleep onset stage 2 NREM sleep [ 7 , 8 ]. Some authors have proposed that sleep attacks in PD are narcolepsy-like, and it is of note that narcolepsy is the predominant disorder in which automatic behaviors are reported [ 3 ]. It was not possible to perform sleep studies in the current patient as it was necessary to taper the pramipexole as rapidly as tolerated.…”

“…Automatic behaviors are generally recognized as being typical of narcolepsy and temporal lobe epilepsy, and the phenomenon is likely best classified as a disorder of awareness [ 3 ]. These episodes are challenging to study in the laboratory setting, but are probably associated with disruption of normal sleep cycles, for example, intrusions of rapid eye movement (REM) or non-REM (NREM) sleep into wakefulness [ 3 ]. Various other disorders of consciousness (sleep attacks [ 4 ]) and behaviors (impulse control disorders, punding [ 5 ]) are well-known to be associated with the use of dopamine agonists.…”

“…This variation in sleep timing has been used as a proxy for chronotype, or the individual phase of entrainment [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Recently, studies have reported a biphasic shift of sleep timing in parallel with chronological maturation [ 1 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], with adolescents continuously shifting later during adolescence, and then becoming earlier again in early adulthood [ 1 , 12 , 13 ]. Adolescents on average have a later phase of entrainment and this is paralleled by their sleep timings, especially on non-school days when sleep timing is not affected by school start times, but at least in part regulated by the circadian system.…”

Sleep Timing in Patients with Precocious and Delayed Pubertal Development

Previous studies have reported a shift in the timing of sleep during adolescence toward a later time. To date, it is unclear whether hormonal changes during puberty might contribute to this change in sleeping behavior. We systematically assessed pubertal development and sleep timing in a cross-sectional case-control study in girls with precocious (n = 42) and boys with delayed pubertal development (n = 19). We used the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire and the Children’s ChronoType Questionnaire to assess sleep timing in patients and age- and sex-matched controls (n = 309) and used the midpoint of sleep on free days, corrected for potential sleep debt accumulated during the school week, as a marker for sleep timing. Compared to the controls, girls with central precocious puberty showed a delay in sleep timing of 54 min, and girls with premature pubarche slept on average 30 min later. Male adolescents with delayed pubertal development showed an average sleep midpoint that was 40 min earlier compared to the control group. The results of this pilot study suggest an association between pubertal onset and shifts in sleep timing, which is a novel finding in human sleep behavior. Prospective studies in larger cohorts will be needed to examine the robustness and generalizability of the findings.

“…Furthermore, a reduction in sleep problems could predict treatment response. It is important to note that sleep mechanisms and circadian rhythms change across the lifespan (Crowley, 2016;Skeldon, Derks, & Dijk, 2015), impeding the generalizability of the findings to adults. One study in adult patients showed that REM latency could predict OCD treatment response to both CBT and SSRIs (Voderholzer et al, 2007).…”
