Abstract
Bruxism, insomnia, and melatonin use were commonly reported among 125 adults with persistent tic disorders.
- Sleep disturbance is associated with impairment, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and emotional and behavioral dyscontrol.
- Eveningness is linked to vocal and total tic severity specifically in Tourette's disorder.
- Age, impairment, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms may predict sleep disturbance in adults with persistent tic disorders.
- Age and tic severity could predict chronotype among the participants.
