Clinical Characteristics of Primary Insomniacs with Sleep-State Misperception
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of sleep-state misperception and to identify any differences in the clinical characteristics of primary insomniacs with and without misperception. METHODS In total, 250 adult primary insomniacs were enrolled whose objective total sleep time (TST) was more than 120 min, as assessed by full-night polysomnography. Sle...
متن کاملSleep Spindles Characteristics in Insomnia Sufferers and Their Relationship with Sleep Misperception
Cortical hyperarousal is higher in insomnia sufferers (INS) than in good sleepers (GS) and could be related to an alteration in sleep protection mechanisms, like reduced density or altered characteristics in sleep spindles. The deficient sleep protection mechanisms might in turn enhance underestimation of sleep. This study's objective was to document sleep spindles characteristics in INS compar...
متن کاملCharacteristics of insomniacs with self-reported morning and evening chronotypes.
STUDY OBJECTIVES This study examines the relevance of self-reported morning and evening chronotypes in treatment-seeking insomniacs presenting to a tertiary sleep clinic setting. DESIGN Using a cross-sectional design, patients were categorized as morning, intermediate, and evening chronotypes based upon scores on the Morningness-Eveningness Composite Scale (MECS). Group comparisons were made ...
متن کاملThe impact of the circadian phase of chronic insomniacs and controls upon their sleep characteristics
Introduction It has been shown that chronic insomniacs, selected on the basis of the type of their sleep complaint (i.e. delayed sleep-onset vs early morning awakening) differ with respect to the phase of their circadian body temperature rhythm (Lack &Wright,1993; Morris et al., 1990). If these results reflect a causal relationship, it should be possible to predict the nature of the sleep compl...
متن کاملDo chronic primary insomniacs have impaired heat loss when attempting sleep?
For good sleepers, distal skin temperatures (e.g., hands and feet) have been shown to increase when sleep is attempted. This process is said to reflect the body's action to lose heat from the core via the periphery. However, little is known regarding whether the same process occurs for insomniacs. It would be expected that insomniacs would have restricted heat loss due to anxiety when attemptin...
