“…Children with asthma, another respiratory condition that is characterized by airway inflammation and airflow obstruction, also have a high frequency of sleep disturbances, often due to the presence of a nighttime cough (16). The approximately 20% of patients with CF who also have asthma, in comparison to those without this comorbidity, tend to have a lower sleep efficiency, and spend a longer duration in WASO (55, 81).…”

“…Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain (29, 83–85), acid reflux (16, 86, 87), flatulence and loose, malodorous stools (18) are also potential sources of sleep disruption in these children. Frequent trips to the bathroom for defecation have been quoted by children and their parents as a cause for their nocturnal arousals (24).…”

“…As sleep problems have the potential to be so consequential, their high prevalence among children with chronic respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), raises particular concern (1, 16). Cystic fibrosis is a lethal genetic disease that affects approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States and is the most common genetic disease in Caucasians (17).…”

Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, life-shortening illness that affects multiple systems and results in frequent respiratory infections, chronic cough, fat malabsorption and malnutrition. Poor sleep is often reported by patients with cystic fibrosis. Although objective data to explain these complaints have been limited, they do show poor sleep efficiency and frequent arousals. Abnormalities in gas exchange are also observed during sleep in patients with cystic fibrosis. The potential impact of these abnormalities in sleep on health and quality of life remains largely unstudied. This review summarizes what is known about sleep in children with cystic fibrosis, and implications for clinical practice. This report also highlights new evidence on the impact of sleep problems on disease-specific outcomes such as lung function, and identifies areas that need further exploration.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic multisystem disease with manifestations from birth. It involves the entire respiratory system, with increased cough, and recurrent pulmonary infections, and it also leads to intestinal malabsorption, all of which can have an impact on sleep. In this review, we summarize the available literature on the various sleep disturbances in children with CF. Sleep quality and sleep efficiency are often impaired in children with CF. They may be accompanied by symptoms associated with sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB), and objective findings, such as nocturnal hypoxemia. Importantly, a strong association has been shown between SDB and the severity of lung disease, and some studies have reported a similar association for sleep quality. Further research is needed to better characterize the association of sleep disturbances with respiratory outcomes and the impact of treatment of sleep disorders on pulmonary status in children with CF.
