Brochure Sleep Disorders MS BasicFacts FINAL. Fatigue. Several different kinds of fatigue occur in MS.
For example, people who have bladder dysfunction (producing night-time awakenings) or nocturnal muscle spasms, may be sleep deprived and suffer from fatigue as a result. People who are depressed may also suffer fatigue. And anyone who needs to expend considerable effort just to accomplish daily tasks (e.g., dressing, brushing teeth, bathing, preparing meals) may suffer from additional fatigue as a result. In addition to these sources of fatigue, there is another kind of fatigue — referred to as lassitude — that is unique to people with MS.

These devices are usually big, expensive, and operated by people that have been taught how to use them. That could be a thing of the past. We can now record the same activity using much smaller, inexpensive and easy-to-use wearable technology You attach these wearable devices to your body in order to measure physiological activity–heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, muscle tension, and brain waves.

Obstructive sleep apnoea - Diagnosis. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can usually be diagnosed after you've been observed sleeping at a sleep clinic, or by using a testing device worn overnight at home.
If you think you have OSA, it's important to visit your GP in case you need to be referred to a sleep specialist for further tests and treatment. Before seeing your GP, it may be helpful to ask a partner, friend or relative to observe you while you are asleep if possible. If you have OSA, they may be able to spot episodes of breathlessness. It may also help to fill out an Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaire. This asks how likely you'll be to doze off in a number of different situations, such as watching TV or sitting in a meeting.
Sleep disorders widely undiagnosed in individuals with multiple sclerosis. In what may be the largest study of sleep problems among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers at UC Davis have found that widely undiagnosed sleep disorders may be at the root of the most common and disabling symptom of the disease: fatigue.
Conducted in over 2,300 individuals in Northern California with multiple sclerosis, the large, population-based study found that, overall, more than 70 percent of participants screened positive for one or more sleep disorders. The research highlights the importance of diagnosing the root causes of fatigue among individuals with MS, as sleep disorders may affect the course of the disease as well as the overall health and well-being of sufferers, the authors said. The study "The Underdiagnosis of Sleep Disorders in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis," is published online in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. "The vast majority of these sleep disorders are potentially undiagnosed and untreated," he said. Poor sleep contributes to MS-related fatigue: Sleep disturbances are underrecognized factor in debilitating secondary fatigue in people with MS. Kessler Foundation's Lauren Strober, PhD, explores the association of secondary fatigue and sleep disturbances in multiple sclerosis (MS).
