Up to 50% of people living
with HIV have some neurocognitive impairment. We examined associations of sleep
and fatigue with self-reported cognitive problems in 268 adults living with
HIV.
Multivariate regression was used to examine associations between cognitive
problems, self-reported sleep quality, actigraphy-measured total sleep time and
wake after sleep onset, and fatigue severity. Poorer self-reported sleep
quality (p < .001), short or long total sleep time (<7 or >8
vs. 7-8 hours, p = .015), and greater fatigue
(p < .001) were associated with lower self-reported cognitive
function scores after controlling for demographic and clinical characteristics.
However, objective measure of wake after sleep onset was unrelated to
self-reported cognitive function scores. F
indings suggest that assessing and
treating poor sleep and complaints about fatigue would be areas for
intervention that could have a greater impact on improving cognition function
than interventions that target only cognitive problems.
