Sleep disturbance is specifically associated with poor quality of life (QoL) [4]; decreased mental and physical function, and adversely impact survival [5-7]. Recent data also suggest that the low oxygen state resulting from sleep apnoea can exaggerate the deterioration of kidney function and increase risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular abnormality and overall death rates [8]. Despite the significance of sleep apnoea, it is acknowledged that there is insufficient evidence for clinicians to manage this common symptom burden in the dialysis population [9]; and patients who receive maintenance dialysis today still experience poor QoL and worse survival rates compared with most common cancer sufferers [10].
