Nocturia and Sleep: Focus on Common Comorbidities and Their Association with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract

Nocturia is a frequently encountered complaint in patients visiting sleep clinics. Nocturia and its detrimental effect on sleep continuity and quality have been frequently discussed in previous studies. Moreover, abundant research has been conducted to delineate the close relationship between nocturia and the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In this review, we discuss the common comorbidities that can provoke nocturia and their relationship with OSA and sleep.
