Sleep and wakefulness disorders can be organized into five categories: insomnia, hypersomnia, sleep-related breathing disorders, circadian rhythm disorders, and parasomnias. INSOMNIA Primary insomnia—Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or nonrestorative sleep that lasts for 1 month and causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Subcategories include sleep-onset insomnia, sleep-maintenance insomnia, or early morning wakening. About one third of the U.S. population suffers several bouts of insomnia per year, and about 10% of the population has a chronic problem with insomnia. Of those, as many as 40% self-medicate with alcohol, over-the-counter medications, or both. Treatment modalities include sleep hygiene measures (see Sleep Hygiene Measures box), cognitive–behavioral techniques, and medication. Adjustment insomnia—Is a transient problem that is related to acute stress, conflict with others, or life changes. The sleep problems last from a week to a few months and are resolved when the stressor is removed or resolved. Paradoxical insomnia—Is when the individual thinks he or she is awake, or is not sleeping even though brain wave activity is consistent with normal sleep. It is usually due to ruminative worrying that continues into sleep, but causes the individual to believe he or she is awake. An interruption of rumination and diminished worry about not sleeping usually diminishes or eliminates the problem. Idiopathic insomnia—A lifelong inability to obtain adequate sleep. It is thought to be a neurologic deficit in the sleep–wake cycle, and is therefore chronic and lifelong. Treatment consists of improved sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, and the long-term use of sleep-inducing medication. Insomnia due to a mental disorder, medical condition, or drug or substance use—Primary treatment of the underlying cause is helpful, but may not eliminate the insomnia altogether. So use of medications for sleep, sleep hygiene measures, and the avoidance of stimulants including caffeine and of medications that interfere with sleep are also effective. HYPERSOMNIA Primary hypersomnia—Excessive sleepiness for at least 1 month that involves either prolonged sleep episodes or daily daytime sleeping that causes significant distress or impairment in functioning. Major sleep episodes may be 8 to 12 hours long, and the person has difficulty waking up. Daytime naps leave the person 801

Sleep and wakefulness disorders can be organized into five categories: insomnia, hypersomnia, sleep-relatedbreathing disorders, circadian rhythm disorders, and parasomnias.

INSOMNIAPrimary insomnia—Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or nonrestorative sleep that lasts for 1 monthand causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas offunctioning. Subcategories include sleep-onset insomnia, sleep-maintenance insomnia, or early morningwakening. About one third of the U.S. population suffers several bouts of insomnia per year, and about 10%of the population has a chronic problem with insomnia. Of those, as many as 40% self-medicate withalcohol, over-the-counter medications, or both. Treatment modalities include sleep hygiene measures (seeSleep Hygiene Measures box), cognitive–behavioral techniques, and medication.

Adjustment insomnia—Is a transient problem that is related to acute stress, conflict with others, or lifechanges. The sleep problems last from a week to a few months and are resolved when the stressor isremoved or resolved.

Paradoxical insomnia—Is when the individual thinks he or she is awake, or is not sleeping even thoughbrain wave activity is consistent with normal sleep. It is usually due to ruminative worrying that continuesinto sleep, but causes the individual to believe he or she is awake. An interruption of rumination anddiminished worry about not sleeping usually diminishes or eliminates the problem.

Idiopathic insomnia—A lifelong inability to obtain adequate sleep. It is thought to be a neurologic deficit inthe sleep–wake cycle, and is therefore chronic and lifelong. Treatment consists of improved sleep hygiene,relaxation therapy, and the long-term use of sleep-inducing medication.

Insomnia due to a mental disorder, medical condition, or drug or substance use—Primary treatment of theunderlying cause is helpful, but may not eliminate the insomnia altogether. So use of medications for sleep,sleep hygiene measures, and the avoidance of stimulants including caffeine and of medications that interferewith sleep are also effective.

HYPERSOMNIAPrimary hypersomnia—Excessive sleepiness for at least 1 month that involves either prolonged sleepepisodes or daily daytime sleeping that causes significant distress or impairment in functioning. Major sleepepisodes may be 8 to 12 hours long, and the person has difficulty waking up. Daytime naps leave the person

801

unrefreshed on awakening. Treatment with stimulant medication is often effective.

Narcolepsy—Excessive sleepiness characterized by repeated, irresistible sleep attacks. After sleeping 10 to 20minutes, the person is briefly refreshed until the next sleep attack. Sleep attacks can occur at opportunetimes, such as during important work activities or while driving a car. People with narcolepsy may alsoexperience cataplexy (sudden episodes of bilateral, reversible loss of muscle tone that last for seconds tominutes) or recurrent intrusions of REM sleep in the sleep–wake transitions, manifested by paralysis ofvoluntary muscles or dream-like hallucinations. Treatment includes stimulant medication, modafinil(Provigil), and behavioral structuring, such as scheduling naps at convenient times.

SLEEP-RELATED BREATHING DISORDERSSleep disruption leads to excessive sleepiness or, less commonly, insomnia, caused by abnormalities inventilation during sleep. These sleep-related breathing disorders include obstructive sleep apnea (repeatedepisodes of upper airway obstruction), central sleep apnea (episodic cessation of ventilation without airwayobstruction), and central alveolar hypoventilation (hypoventilation resulting in low arterial oxygen levels).Central sleep apnea is more common in the elderly, while obstructive sleep apnea and central alveolarhypoventilation are commonly seen in obese individuals. The primary treatments for sleep-related breathingdisorders are surgical, such as tracheotomy, and use of a continuous positive airway pressure machine duringsleep.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISORDERSCircadian rhythm sleep disorder (formerly sleep–wake schedule disorder)—Persistent or recurring sleep disruptionresulting from altered functioning of circadian rhythm or a mismatch between circadian rhythm and externaldemands. Subtypes include delayed sleep phase (person’s own circadian schedule is incongruent with neededtiming of sleep, such as an individual being unable to sleep or remain awake during socially acceptable hoursas a result of a work schedule or the like), jet lag (conflict of sleep–wake schedule and a new time zone), shiftwork (conflict between circadian rhythm and demands of wakefulness for shift work), and unspecified(circadian rhythm pattern is longer than 24 hours despite environmental cues, resulting in varying sleepproblems). Sleep hygiene measures (see Sleep Hygiene Measures box), melatonin, and bright light therapy canbe effective treatments. Bright light therapy consists of being exposed to bright light when wakefulness isinitiated and avoiding bright lights when sleep is desired.

PARASOMNIASParasomnias are disorders characterized by abnormal behavioral or psychological events associated with sleep,specific sleep stages, or sleep–wake transition. These disorders involve activation of physiologic systems, suchas the autonomic nervous system, motor system, or cognitive processes, at inappropriate times, as during sleep.

Nightmare disorder—Repeated occurrence of frightening dreams that lead to waking from sleep. Thedreams are often lengthy and elaborate, provoking anxiety or terror and causing the individual to havetrouble returning to sleep and to experience significant distress and, sometimes, lack of sleep. There is no

802

widely accepted treatment.

Sleep terror disorder—Repeated occurrence of abrupt awakenings from sleep associated with a panickyscream or cry. Children with sleep terror disorder are confused and upset upon awakening and have nomemory of a dream either at the time of awakening or in the morning. Initially, it is difficult to fullyawaken or console the child. Sleep terror disorder tends to go away in adolescence.

Sleepwalking disorder—Repeated episodes of complex motor behavior initiated during sleep, includinggetting out of bed and walking around. Persons appear disoriented and confused and, on occasion, maybecome violent. Usually they return to bed on their own or can be guided back to bed. Sleepwalking occursmost often in children between 4 and 8 years, and it tends to dissipate by adolescence. No treatment isrequired.

Sleep disorders related to another mental disorder may involve insomnia or hypersomnia. Mood disorders,anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders are often associated with sleep disturbances.Treatment of the underlying mental disorder is indicated to resolve the sleep disorder.

SLEEP HYGIENE MEASURES

Establish a regular schedule for going to bed and arising.

Avoid sleep deprivation, and the desire to “catch up” by excessive sleeping.

Do not eat large meals before bedtime; however, a light snack is permissible, even helpful.

Avoid daytime naps, unless necessitated by advanced age or physical condition.

Exercise daily, particularly in the late afternoon or early evening, as exercise before retiring mayinterfere with sleep.

Minimize or eliminate caffeine and nicotine ingestion.

Do not look at the clock while lying in bed.

Keep the temperature in the bedroom slightly cool.

Do not drink alcohol in an attempt to sleep; it will worsen sleep disturbances and produce poor-quality sleep.

Do not use the bed for reading, working, watching television, and so forth.

If you are worried about something, try writing it down on paper and assigning a designated time todeal with it—then, let it go.

Soft music, relaxation tapes, or “white noise” may be helpful; experiment with different methods tofind those that are beneficial for you.

Sleep disorder due to a general medical condition may involve insomnia, hypersomnia, parasomnias, or acombination of these attributable to a medical condition. These sleep disturbances may result fromdegenerative neurological illnesses, cerebrovascular disease, endocrine conditions, viral and bacterial infections,coughing, or pain. Sleep disturbances of this type may improve with treatment of the underlying medical

803

condition or may be treated symptomatically with medication for sleep.

Substance-induced sleep disorder involves prominent disturbance in sleep due to the direct physiologic effectsof a substance, such as alcohol, other drugs, or toxins. Insomnia and hypersomnia are most common.Treatment of the underlying substance use or abuse generally leads to improvement in sleep.

INTRODUCTIONThere are three general groups of sexual and gender problems: sexual dysfunctions (desire, arousal, orgasm,pain, and dysfunction due to a medical condition), paraphilias (exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism,pedophilia, masochism, sadism, transvestic fetishism, and voyeurism), and gender dysphoria. These disordersare usually identified in primary care or outpatient settings and treated with individual, couple/partner, orgroup psychotherapy. Occasionally, when the diagnosis coincides with behavior defined as criminal, that is,many of the paraphilias, individuals get involved in the legal system.

SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONSSexual dysfunction is characterized by a disturbance in the processes of the sexual response cycle or by painassociated with sexual intercourse. The sexual response cycle consists of desire, excitement, orgasm, andresolution. Sexual dysfunction may be due to psychological factors alone or a combination of psychologicalfactors and a medical condition.

Sexual desire disorders involve a disruption in the desire phase of the sexual response cycle.

Hypoactive sexual desire disorder—Characterized by a deficiency or absence of sexual fantasies and a lack ofdesire for sexual activity that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Sexual aversion disorder—Involves aversion to and active avoidance of genital sexual contact with a sexualpartner that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty. The individual reports anxiety, fear, ordisgust when confronted by a sexual opportunity with a partner.

Sexual arousal disorders are a disruption of the excitement phase of the sexual response cycle.

Female sexual arousal disorder—Persistent or recurrent inability to attain or to maintain, until completion ofthe sexual activity, an adequate lubrication–swelling response of sexual excitement, which causes markeddistress or interpersonal difficulty.

Male erectile disorder—Persistent or recurrent inability to attain or maintain, until completion of the sexualactivity, an adequate erection, which causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Orgasmic disorders are disruptions of the orgasm phase of the sexual response cycle.

Female orgasmic disorders—Persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexual

805

excitement phase, which causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Male orgasmic disorder—Persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexualexcitement phase, which causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Premature ejaculation—Persistent or recurrent onset of orgasm and ejaculation with minimal sexualstimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it, causing marked distressor interpersonal difficulty.

Sexual pain disorders involve pain associated with sexual activity.

Dyspareunia—Genital pain associated with sexual intercourse causing marked distress or interpersonaldifficulties. It can occur in both males and females, and symptoms range from mild discomfort to sharppain.

Vaginismus—Persistent or recurrent involuntary contractions of the perineal muscles surrounding the outerthird of the vagina when vaginal penetration with penis, finger, tampon, or speculum is attempted, causingmarked distress or interpersonal difficulties. The contraction may range from mild (tightness and milddiscomfort) to severe (preventing penetration).

Sexual dysfunction due to a general medical condition is presence of clinically significant sexual dysfunctionthat is exclusively due to the physiological effects of a medical condition. It can include pain with intercourse,hypoactive sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic problems, or other problems as previously described.The individual experiences marked distress or interpersonal difficulty related to the symptoms.

Substance-induced sexual dysfunction is clinically significant sexual dysfunction resulting in marked distressor interpersonal difficulty caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance (drug of abuse, medication,or toxin). It may involve impaired arousal, impaired orgasm, or sexual pain.

PARAPHILIASParaphilias are recurrent, intensely sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors generally involving(1) nonhuman objects, (2) the suffering or humiliation of one’s self or partner, or (3) children or othernonconsenting persons. For pedophilia, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and frotteurism, the diagnosis is made ifthe person has acted on these urges or if the urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.For sexual sadism, the diagnosis is made if the person has acted on these urges with a nonconsenting person orif the urges, fantasies, or behaviors cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty. For the remainingparaphilias, the diagnosis is made if the behavior, sexual urges, or fantasies cause clinically significant distressor impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Exhibitionism—Exposure of the genitals to a stranger, sometimes involving masturbation; usually occursbefore age 18 and is less severe after age 40.

Fetishism—Use of nonliving objects (the fetish) to obtain sexual excitement and/or achieve orgasm.Common fetishes include women’s underwear, bras, lingerie, shoes, or other apparel. The person mightmasturbate while holding or rubbing the object. It begins by adolescence and tends to be chronic.

Frotteurism—Touching and rubbing against a nonconsenting person, usually in a crowded place from which

806

the person with frotteurism can make a quick escape, such as public transportation, a shopping mall, or a

crowded sidewalk. The individual rubs his genitals against the victim’s thighs and buttocks or fondles herbreasts or genitalia with his hands. Acts of frottage occur most often between the ages of 15 and 25;frequency declines after that.

Pedophilia—Sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally 13 years or younger) by someone at least 16years old and 5 years older than the child. It can include an individual undressing the child and looking atthe child; exposing himself or herself; masturbating in the presence of the child; touching and fondling thechild; fellatio; cunnilingus; or penetration of the child’s vagina, anus, or mouth with the individual’s fingersor penis or with foreign objects, with varying amounts of force. Contact may involve the individual’s ownchildren, stepchildren or relatives, or strangers. Many individuals with pedophilia do not experience distressabout their fantasies, urges, or behaviors.

Sexual masochism—Recurrent, intensely sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving theact of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer. Some individuals act on masochisticurges by themselves, others with a partner.

Sexual sadism—Recurrent, intensely sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving acts inwhich the psychological or physical suffering of the victim is sexually arousing to the person. It can involvedomination (caging the victim or forcing victim to crawl, beg, plead), restraint, spanking, beating, electricalshock, rape, cutting, and, in severe cases, torture and death. Victims may be consenting (those with sexualmasochism) or nonconsenting.

Transvestic fetishism—Recurrent, intensely sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involvingcross-dressing by a heterosexual male.

Voyeurism—Recurrent, intensely sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving the act ofobserving an unsuspecting person who is naked, in the process of undressing, or engaging in sexual activity.Voyeurism usually begins before age 15, is chronic, and may involve masturbation during the voyeuristicbehavior.

GENDER DYSPHORIAGender dysphoria is diagnosed when an individual has a strong and persistent sense of incongruence betweenexperienced or expressed gender and the gender assigned at birth, usually anatomical and called natal. Theincongruence is accompanied by the persistent discomfort of his or her assigned sex or a sense ofinappropriateness in the gender role of that assigned sex. The person experiences clinically significant distressor impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. In boys, there is apreoccupation with traditionally feminine activities, a preference for dressing in girls’ or women’s clothing,and an expressed desire to be a girl or grow up to be a woman. Girls may resist parental attempts to have themwear dresses or other feminine attire, wear boys’ clothing, have short hair, ask to be called by a boy’s name,and express the desire to grow a penis and grow up to be a man.
