Sleep-related dissociative disorder

Last edited: 4/10/2026

Overview

Sleep-related dissociative disorders are characterized by non-restorative sleep, leading to significant consequences in daily life 2. Symptoms can include daytime fatigue and difficulties with performance or concentration 2. These disorders are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurologic diseases 2.

Diagnosis

  • Symptoms include daytime fatigue and performance or concentration disorders 2.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for diagnosis and therapy 2.
  • Management

  • Therapy may involve a multidisciplinary approach 2.
  • Dentists can contribute to the therapy of sleep-related breathing disorders 2.
  • Key Recommendations

  • Sleep plays a protective role in the aftermath of exposure to a traumatic event 1.
  • Sleep manipulations, such as sleep deprivation or daytime naps, can be experimentally investigated for their effects on intrusive memories following trauma 1.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disorders 2.
