Sleep plays a vital role in physical and mental functioning. It is increasingly recognized that disturbed sleep is a highly prevalent and chronic condition that merits greater awareness due to the wide-ranging and serious repercussions associated with it. Nocturia is one of the causes of sleep disturbance and has been shown to impair functioning, quality of life, health and productivity, with those experiencing two or more voids per night reporting significant 'bother'. Nocturia warrants full consideration as a significant target for intervention, aiming to reduce the burden of disturbed sleep on individuals, families and society. Currently, however, a definitive evaluation of the most relevant sleep endpoints in nocturia therapy is lacking. One endpoint often used is the duration of the initial sleep period, which when evaluated in combination with the number of voiding episodes per night, might be an indication of the severity of sleep disruption in patients with nocturia.
睡眠在身体和精神功能方面起着至关重要的作用。越来越多的人认识到，睡眠紊乱是一种普遍且慢性的病症，由于其广泛且严重的影响，需要引起更多的关注。夜尿症是睡眠紊乱的原因之一，它已被证明会影响功能、生活质量、健康和生产力，那些每晚会经历两次或更多次排空的人报告说会有显著的“困扰”。夜尿症需要被充分考虑作为一个重要的干预目标，旨在减轻个人、家庭和社会因睡眠紊乱而带来的负担。然而，目前缺乏对夜尿症治疗中最相关的睡眠终点的明确评估。一个常用的终点是初始睡眠时间的持续时间，当与夜间排尿次数一起评估时，可能是夜尿症患者睡眠中断严重程度的一个指标。
