Abstract

Persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) often complain about sleep problems. There is less known about objective sleep-electroencephalography (EEG) dimensions within naturalistic conditions (i.e., home and/or familiar setting). The present cross-sectional study examined the associations between objective and subjective sleep, depression, physical activity scores, and MS-related information among PwMS in their familiar setting. The sample consisted of 16 PwMS (mean age: 50.3 years; median Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS): 5.5) who completed questionnaires covering subjective sleep (symptoms of insomnia, restless legs syndrome (RLS) and sleep-disordered breathing), as well as daytime sleepiness, subjective physical activity, depression, and MS-related information (fatigue, EDSS; disease-modifying treatments). Objective sleep was assessed with a mobile sleep-EEG device under naturalist conditions within the home. Descriptively, better objective sleep patterns were associated with lower sleep complaints (r; s; = -0.51) and daytime sleepiness (r; s; = -0.43), and with lower symptoms of RLS (r; s; = -0.35), but not with sleep-disordered breathing (r; s; = -0.17). More deep sleep was associated with higher moderate physical activity levels (r; s; = 0.56). Objective sleep parameters were not associated with vigorous physical activity levels (r; s; < 0.25). Descriptively, moderate and vigorous physical activity scores were associated with lower symptoms of RLS (r; s; = -0.43 to -0.47). Results from this small study carried out under naturalistic conditions suggest that among PwMS, better objective sleep correlated with better subjective sleep and higher moderate physical activity levels.
