Abstract
The symptoms of asthma poorly controlled can adversely affect sleep quality, including nighttime coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Actigraphy, utilizing the Actiwatch 2 wristwatch, offers an objective means to assess sleep activity parameters like sleep onset latency (SOLT) and duration of awakening after sleep onset (WASO). In this study, 100 asthma patients were included, and their sleep quality was assessed through actigraphy. This study evaluated using the Asthma Control Questionnaire, whereas asthma-related quality of life was evaluated using the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire. The results, including ACQ, AQLQ, and lung function tests, were compared with sleep quality parameters. The findings revealed a total sleep time of 386.1mins, WASO of 54.71 mins, sleep efficiency of 86.01%, sleep onset latency of 7.06 mins, and an ACQ score of 0.36. Interestingly, no correlation was observed between sleep efficiency or WASO and respiratory functions, ACQ, or AQLQ. The study suggests that actigraphic measures of sleep are not associated with pulmonary function, asthma control levels, or the quality of daytime life in individuals with asthma. Importantly, it underscores the significance of achieving well-controlled asthma before evaluating sleep quality.
