In a double-blind crossover study in general practice, flurazepam was shown to be significantly better (p<0.001) than diazepam in treating sleep disturbance. Fewer patients reported side-effects on flurazepam.

Abstract Introduction American Association of Sleep Medicine guidelines states that the primary goals of the treatment of insomnia are to improve sleep quality and related daytime function. While H1 antihistamines have sedative effects, they are associated with residual daytime sleepiness and an effective dose range for hypnotic effect has hitherto not been established. Triprolidine a first generation antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis and the common cold has a mean half-life of 3.2 hours. We evaluated the effect of two doses of triprolodine compared with placebo on sleep onset latency and daytime sleepiness to determine the optimum dose in subjects with temporary sleep disturbance. Methods Multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double blind, multiple dose, randomized study of 178 patients aged 18 years or above with a primary diagnosis of temporary sleep disturbance. Patients were randomized to one of three groups. Group 1: 2 x placebo tablets; Group 2: 1 x placebo tablet + 1 x 2.5mg triprolidine tablet; Group 3: 2 x 2.5mg triprolodine tablets, taken 20 minutes before intended sleep on three consecutive evenings. Efficacy was measured objectively using the Sleep Disturbance Index using a wrist actimeter and subjectively using the Loughborough Sleep Log and Karolinska Sleepiness Scale. Results Both doses were statistically significantly superior to placebo in terms of quality and duration of sleep and sleep interruptions. No hangover effects or daytime sleepiness were observed with either dose compared to placebo. Patients on the 2.5 mg dose awoke more refreshed than the 5 mg dose. No serious adverse effects observed in any group and anticholinergic events i.e. dry mouth were very low. Conclusion Tripolidine is effective and safe in the treatment of temporary sleep disturbance. The optimum dose is 2.5mg. Support The study was sponsored by Boots Healthcare International.

Sleep disturbances such as bed refusal and resistance, sleep-onset delay, night waking with crying, and unwanted co-sleeping with parents affect 15% to 25% of families during their infant's first two years. A program is described that involves structured pre-bedtime activities, putting the child into his or her own bed awake at a regular time, and responding to subsequent waking and crying with planned ignoring and minimally-arousing checks when necessary. This programme was demonstrated in four families and shown to resolve infant sleep disturbances to a clinically significant degree and to the satisfaction of the parents.

IntroductionDisrupted sleep is common in depression.ObjectivesInvestigate effects of adjunct extended release quetiapine fumarate (QTP-XR) on sleep disturbance and quality in patients with MDD and inadequate response to antidepressant (AD) therapy.MethodsData were pooled from two (D1448C00006/D1448C00007) 6-week, double-blind, randomised, placebo (placebo+AD)-controlled studies of adjunct QTP-XR (15 0 mg/day and 300 mg/day). Primary endpoint: MADRS total score change versus placebo+AD. Secondary endpoints (post hoc): change from randomisation in MADRS item 4 (reduced sleep), HAM-D items 4, 5 and 6 (early-, middle- and late-insomnia), sleep disturbance factor (HAM-D items 4+5+6) and sleep quality (PSQI global score). MADRS total score change in patients with baseline HAM-D sleep disturbance factor score > = 4 or < 4 (high and low sleep disturbance, respectively) was evaluated.Results919 patients received adjunct QTP-XR: 150 mg/day (n = 309), 300 mg/day (n = 307), placebo+AD (n = 303). At Week 6, adjunct QTP-XR (both doses) reduced MADRS item 4, HAM-D sleep disturbance factor, HAM-D items 4, 5 and 6 and PSQI global scores from baseline versus placebo+AD (p < 0.001). In patients with baseline HAM-D>=4 (n = 226, 215 and 210, respectively) adjunct QTP-XR (both doses) improved (p< 0.01) MADRS total score versus placebo+AD from Week 1 onward. In patients with baseline HAM-D< 4 (n = 83, 92, 93, respectively) adjunct QTP-XR (both doses) improved (not statistically significantly) MADRS total score versus placebo+AD at Week 6.ConclusionsAdjunct QTP-XR significantly restored sleep and improved sleep quality in patients with MDD and inadequate response to AD. Significant improvement in depressive symptoms was demonstrated with adjunct QTP-XR in patients with MDD and high baseline sleep disturbance. AstraZeneca funded.
