134 Citations1985Jeffrey L. Sugerman, John A. Stern +1 more
Daytime performance and alertness were examined in two groups of patients with disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS) and a control group of self-described good sleepers, and the subjective DIMS group demonstrated an atypical daytime alertness and a tendency toward lowered arousal during vigilance task performance.

Fifty patients presenting to a sleep disorders center with an insomnia complaint were compared to 50 subjects with insomnia recruited through the newspaper for psychopharmacological studies, and significant differences on psychometric measures and in daytime alertness were present.
Journal of Clinical PsychopharmacologyComparative Hypnotic Effects of Flurazepam, Triazolam, and Placebo
98 Citations1984Merrill M. Mitler, Wesley F. Seidel +3 more
Daytime testing revealed significantly decreased daytime alertness and decreased performance for flurazepam subjects during weeks 3 to 7, although these effects reverted toward baseline despite continued drug administration, suggesting that the onset of the rebound insomnia depended on the rate of drug washout.
American Journal of PsychiatrySubtyping DSM-III-R primary insomnia: a literature review by the DSM-IV Work Group on Sleep Disorders
97 Citations1991C F Reynolds, David J. Kupfer +3 more
There is not yet sufficient empirical evidence to warrant the abandonment of DSM-III-R "primary insomnia" and the adoption of the ICSD subtypes in DSM-IV, however, the authors affirm the heuristic value of theICSS subtypes and the need for field trials to compare the performance characteristics of the DSM- III-R and I CSD systems.

Patients in only 3 of the 10 diagnostic categories showed evidence of psychological distress on the MMPI; patients in the other 7 categories displayed few psychological symptoms; these results have implications for the treatment of insomnia.

It is suggested that slow wave sleep is involved in sleep induction and maintenance, and that its deficiency is linked to the fragility of sleep in chronic primary insomnia.
