title: [Sleep disorders in dialysis patients].
abstract: By means of standardized interviews and a self-rating scale, information was obtained from 51 dialysis patients concerning their duration of sleep, fitness, working capacity, interests, quality of life, etc. 34 of the subjects reported sleep disorders: 2 had difficulties falling asleep, 21 in sleeping through, and 11 experienced both. Severity of the sleeping problems increases with prolonged hemodialysis therapy; the same seems to apply to lack of an active lifestyle. 9 patients, apart from repeated nocturnal urination, no longer complained about sleeping problems following kidney transplantation.
