Brief summary

Sleep disturbances are common among surgical patients in the preoperative period due to anxiety. Since general anesthesia and physiological sleep share many similarities, the aim of this study is to examine the relation between preoperative quality of sleep and intraoperative anesthetic requirements and postoperative analgesic requirements.

Interventions

evaluation of preoperative sleep quality using sleep electroencephalogram EEG for 8 hours on the night before surgery, recording induction dose of propofol needed to achieve bispectral index BIS value 40-60, recording intraoperative isoflurane requirements needed to achieve BIS 40-60 every 3 minutes
