Overview

Sleep medicine is a clinical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, including conditions that affect sleep quality, duration, and architecture. Research published in the International Journal of Anesthesia addresses multiple dimensions of this field, examining both assessment methodologies and therapeutic approaches. The journal has featured comparative studies evaluating consumer wearable devices against polysomnography for monitoring sleep patterns and movement in pediatric populations, as well as investigations into actigraphic monitoring combined with psychopathological assessment in patients with night eating syndrome. Published work explores the relationship between physical activity and sleep outcomes across adolescent and adult populations, while also examining sleep-disordered breathing through ambulatory cardiac monitoring techniques. The journal has addressed obstructive sleep apnea in relation to anatomical factors and mortality risk, and has investigated non-pharmacological interventions for sleep disruption in individuals with moderate to severe dementia. Additionally, research has explored psychosomatic dimensions of sleep disturbances within the broader mind-body framework. This body of work reflects the multidisciplinary nature of sleep medicine, spanning assessment technologies, behavioral interventions, and the intersection of sleep disorders with other medical conditions across diverse patient populations.
