Poll Results

 
 

A study in the October 22 edition of Current Biology shows that sleep deprivation leads to emotional instability, even in healthy subjects. Certain “pathological psychiatric patterns” arise, even after one night of sleep deprivation. On the basis of these results, how likely or not likely are you to screen your patients for inadequate sleep?

 
 A. Not likely in any situation
 6%  (104)
 
 
 B. Likely if my patient appears to have emotional problems without complaints of sleeplessness
 13%  (239)
 
 
 C. Likely in all patients at risk for sleeplessness for medical reasons
 14%  (243)
 
 
 D. Likely only if my patients complain of sleeplessness
 13%  (237)
 
 
 E. B and C
 52%  (904)
