Abstract
There is accumulating evidence that sleep disturbance, including sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea, can adversely affect restorative brain processes and function (1–5). In this interdisciplinary Research Topic, the interplay between clinical diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) such as multiple sclerosis Hensen et al. and stroke Stevens et al. and sleep disordered breathing is highlighted. Both of these reviews discuss potential shared mechanisms, consequences, and novel treatment approaches. In addition, a review of the clinical challenges of managing patients with comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea and treatment modalities, including the role of cognitive behavioural therapy, is presented Bahr et al.. In the final piece in this series, original research findings provide insight into a novel computerised test battery to examine neurobehavioural function in adults with and without obstructive sleep apnoea D'Rozario et al..
