CK Yeung put the deep sleep theory in question at the last ICCS meeting, demonstrating rather superficial sleep in children with nocturnal enuresis. Mahler and the Aarhus group demonstrated that sleep deprivation induces diuresis and natriuresis. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that abnormal sleep pattern in children coincides with nocturnal polyuria and high osmotic and sodium-excretion during the night. METHODS A non invasive screening (ICCS standardisation), a sleep registration, a study of 24 h circadian rhythm of diuresis, sodium and osmotic excretion. A study-group of 37 patients with refractory enuresis and documented nocturnal polyuria. RESULTS 35/37 patients had a severely disrupted sleeppattern. The major characteristics were especially motor activity and movements during the night, compatible with restless legs syndrome (33/37) and difficulties to fall asleep (N=8). This was correlated with high nocturnal diuresis-rate (135 ± 13 % of expected bladder volume for age) (p<0.05), abnormal circadian rhythm of sodium and osmotic excretion overnight (p<0.05), and increased sodium excretion overnight compared with control population (118 ± 13%) (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The data show that sleeping pattern disorders are far more frequent in children with therapy resistant enuresis than so far accepted. Our data do not only confirm the recent findings from CK Yeung, but demonstrate a correlation with several circadian rhythms of renal function and/or absolute values of nocturnal excretion. If the finding is only a simple comorbidity, plays a role in therapy resistance or in primary pathogenesis remains to be elucidated.
