Material and Methods:Thiswasacrosssectionalstudyon100patientsattendingthedialysiscentreofChalmedaAnand Rao InstituteofMedicalSciences.Patient datawascollectedusingaself-administeredquestionnaire. Results:Ofthe100patientsofendstagerenaldisease(ESRD)onhaemodialysis,76(76%)hadsomeformofsleepdisorder.Thepatternofsleepdisorderswas:64(84.21%)hadinsomnia,25(32.89%)hadexcessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), 20 (26.32%) had obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), 7 (9.21%) hadrestlesslegsyndrome(RLS),2(2.63%)hadnightmaresand2(2.63%)hadsleep-walking.Patientswithhistoryofsmoking(p=0.034)andhistoryofalcoholconsumption(p=0.010)ortreatmentwithbenzodiazepines (p=.002) were more prone to sleep disorders.
