Abstract

In gastrointestinal (GI) practice, the onset of gastrointestinal nocturnal symptoms or their predominance during the night is often reported by patients. These nocturnal symptoms may be heartburn, epigastric or abdominal pain, diarrhoea or episodes of faecal incontinence. Patients report either that symptoms interfere with sleep quality or, in some instances, that disturbed sleep worsens their symptoms.
