Brief Summary

Sleep is a fundamental period in life. In a previous work, the investigators have shown that COPD patients presented on the EEG figures found in patients with chronic pain: Alpha-Delta. The link between dyspnea and pain is very strong and this Alpha-Delta could, in these COPD patients, be the witness of nocturnal dyspnea. Although it is not possible in a non-awake patient to evaluate reliably the dyspnea, sleep offers us a window on the emotions and the feeling of the patient: Dreams. A few studies have shown the link between breathing and dreaming, but none of them has focused on nocturnal dyspnea. Our working hypothesis is that respiratory abnormalities in COPD patients are responsible for nocturnal dyspnea, which is reflected in the content of these patients' dreams.

Study Arms (2)

COPD patients

Arm with patients with respiratory disease in whom we study dreams

Other: Typical Dreams Questionnaire; Other: HAD Questionnaire; Other: Dream Booklet

healthy subject

Arm with healthy subjects whose dream analysis will be used as a basis to compare them to the dreams of COPD patients and see if the disease (COPD) has an influence on the patients' dreams

Other: Typical Dreams Questionnaire; Other: HAD Questionnaire; Other: Dream Booklet

Interventions

Typical Dreams Questionnaire OTHER

Each of the dreams was classified according to its thematic content (e.g., being involved in a chase, flying through the air, falling, being lost, losing one's teeth, drowning) in order to in a chase, flying through the air, falling, being lost, losing teeth, drowning) in order to determine the most determine the most frequent themes emerging from our sample. The instrument used used to carry out this classification is the "Typical Dream Questionnaire" of Zadra and Nielsen (1999), which has been validated with more than 600 patients suffering from sleep disorders and and 1200 adults (Nielsen et al., 1999; 2003).

COPD patients; healthy subject

HAD Questionnaire OTHER

The HAD scale is an instrument that screens for anxiety and depressive disorders. It includes 14 items rated from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety (total A) and seven others to the depressive dimension (total D). two scores (maximum score for each score = 21).

COPD patients; healthy subject

Dream Booklet OTHER

The patient is asked to write down in a notebook every morning the description of the dreams made during the night and to comment on it if necessary
