Abstract:
Sleep disorders have a high comorbidity rate with vestibular diseases. The results of some small sample clinical studies have confirmed the effect of sleep deprivation on vestibular function. However, the mechanism of the effect of sleep disorder on vestibular system is still unclear. This article analyzes the possible mechanism of the effect of sleep disorders on vestibular function from the aspects of neuroanatomy and neurotransmitters, and summarizes the relationship between sleep disorder and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine and other diseases.
