GERD: GERD and insomnia-first degree relatives or distant cousins?

摘要

Two population-based studies highlight the detrimental role of night-time GERD symptoms on sleep quality. The studies reinforce the observation that loss of sleep is associated with night-time GERD symptoms, and that sleep loss from GERD is associated with decreased work production, increased use of health-care resources, and an overall reduction in quality of life for patients.
