Abstract
The physiologic effects of sleep on respiratory muscle activity and breathing are described. The evidence of disruption of sleep architecture, SDB and nocturnal oxygenation in patients with respiratory muscle weakness is reviewed. Finally, the more specific findings in various diseases, and the evaluation and management of these conditions, are described.
