Abstract:
This case study reports on a professional football player (age: 17.6 years) who was referred for sleep monitoring and intervention after reporting excessive night-time awakenings. The player undertook a series of subjective sleep assessments and objective sleep monitoring (activity monitor). Based on the data presented, a sleep hygiene intervention was prescribed. Numerical comparisons were made between pre-intervention (Pre) and post-intervention (Post) values. Objective values were also compared to reference data from a similarly aged professional cohort from the same club (n = 11). Wake episodes per night (Pre: 7.9 ± 3, Post: 4.5 ± 1.9; -43%) and wake after sleep onset (WASO; Pre: 74.3 ± 31.8 mins, Post: 50.0 ± 22.8 mins, -33%) were improved from Pre to Post. Compared to the reference data, mean wake episodes per night (Pre: 7.9 ± 3.0, reference: 4.6 ± 2.6; -42%) and WASO (Pre: 74.3 ± 31.8 mins, reference: 44.3 ± 36.5 mins; -40%) were all lower compared to Pre levels. Whilst causality cannot be proven, we observed multiple sleep metrics improving following an intervention. This provides a potential framework for practitioners looking to provide targeted sleep assessment and intervention.
摘要:
本案例研究报告了一名职业足球运动员(年龄:17.6岁),他在报告夜间过度觉醒后被转介进行睡眠监测和干预。玩家进行了一系列主观睡眠评估和客观睡眠监测(活动监测)。根据提供的数据,规定了睡眠卫生干预措施。在干预前(Pre)和干预后(Post)值之间进行数值比较。还将客观值与来自同一俱乐部的类似年龄的专业队列的参考数据进行了比较(n=11)。每晚醒来事件(Pre:7.9±3,Post:4.5±1.9;-43%)和睡眠发作后醒来(WASO;Pre:74.3±31.8分钟,Post:50.0±22.8mins,-33%)从Pre到Post有所改善。与参考数据相比,每晚平均唤醒次数(Pre:7.9±3.0,参考:4.6±2.6;-42%)和WASO(Pre:74.3±31.8分钟,参考:44.3±36.5分钟;-40%)与Pre水平相比均较低。虽然因果关系无法证明,我们观察到多项睡眠指标在干预后有所改善.这为希望提供有针对性的睡眠评估和干预的从业者提供了潜在的框架。
