\nStudy objectives: Sleep-onset rapid eye movement (SOREM) during daytime naps is
\nrecognized as a main diagnostic feature of narcolepsy. However, SOREMs have been
\nreported to occur in other disorders. This study set out to answer three questions: 1)
\nwhether the majority of patients with SOREMs are diagnosed with narcolepsy; 2) if the
\nnumber of SOREMs is linked with the degree of daytime sleepiness; and, 3) whether
\npatients with SOREMs are sleepier than patients without SOREMs.
\nMethods: One hundred and eighty-five charts of sleep clinic patients with SOREMs on
\nthe Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) or Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) were
\ncompared to 178 charts from clinic patients without SOREMs on the MSLT or MWT (control
\ngroup). Information was collected from the initial, diagnostic sleep study.
\nResults: Patients with SOREMs were almost as frequently diagnosed with narcolepsy
\nas with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or depression\/anxiety. Subjective measures of
\nsleepiness, alertness and fatigue were not different between the SOREM and control
\ngroups. The SOREM group did not exhibit shorter mean sleep onset latencies on the MSLT
\nor MWT but a greater number of SOREMs was associated with increased sleepiness on the
\nMSLT, but not on the MWT or subjective measures of sleepiness.
\nConclusion: SOREMs occur across a wide variety of sleep and psychiatric disorders. Patients
\nwith SOREMs were not sleepier, more fatigued or less alert than those without SOREMs.
\nThe findings of this study indicate that SOREMs are not an accurate or specific diagnostic
\nmarker of narcolepsy.
