Poor quality sleep in CMT?

The Italian Charcot-Marie-Tooth registry conducted a study of sleep and sleepiness among more than 250 patients:

  • 56% had poor quality sleep.
  • 23% doze off during the day.
  • these difficulties were correlated with fatigue, anxiety and depression.

The authors therefore recommend assessing sleep in people with CMT, as well as related factors such as fatigue and mood disorders.
