[Chinese expert consensus on the assessment and management of stroke-related sleep disorders].

Stroke-related sleep disorders (SSD) are common symptoms after stroke, which are common but easily ignored. Studies have shown that sleep disorders in stroke patients would have negative impact on prognosis. However, there is still a lack of consensus and guidance on SSD evaluation and management worldwide. This consensus proposes the concept of SSD based on systemic literature review and discussion with experts. It comprises recommendations of assessment and management for all types of SSD, including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep apnea, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, restless leg syndrome/periodic limb movements of sleep, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. The purpose of this consensus is to provide a standard reference of SSD management.
