Abstract

The past two decades have witnessed substantial progress
in methodology and knowledge in sleep research all over the
world. The paper at hand will present some recent local
contributions to this field. The first is a European project
(SIESTA) focusing on the creation of an automatic sleep
classification system and a normative database, including
polysomnographic (PSG) and psychometric measures, in
order to make it possible to diagnose sleep-disordered
patients as compared with and age- and sex-matched healthy
controls between 20 and 95 years of age. Subsequently, two
trials on nonorganic sleep disorders in generalized anxiety
disorder (GAD) and bruxism, as well as two trials on organic
sleep disorders, i.e. snoring/sleep-disordered breathing
treated with a mandibular advancement device (I.S.T.) and
restless legs syndrome treated with ropinirole and gabapentin,
will be discussed.
