Abstract
A history of chronic insomnia does not predict poor EEG sleep. Both chronic insomnia and poor EEG sleep are associated independently with dysphoria, hyperarousal, diminished waking function, and negative subjective sleep quality. Separate arousal and sleep systems are posited to account for these results.

American Journal of PsychiatrySelf-reports versus sleep laboratory findings in 122 drug-free subjects with complaints of chronic insomnia
554 Citations1976Mary A. Carskadon, William C. Dement +4 more
The authors compared the sleep laboratory recordings of 122 drug-free subjects who complained of chronic insomnia with the subjects' estimates of their habitual sleep characteristics and their estimated sleep time on the morning after sleeping in the laboratory, finding that most subjects consistently underestimated the amount of time they slept and overestimated the time it took them to get to sleep.
SLEEP24-Hour Metabolic Rate in Insomniacs and Matched Normal Sleepers
549 Citations1995Michael H. Bonnet, Donna L. Arand
It was concluded that patients who report chronic insomnia may suffer from a more general disorder of hyperarousal that may be responsible for both the daytime symptoms and the nocturnal poor sleep.
SLEEPDaytime Alertness in Patients with Chronic Insomnia Compared with Asymptomatic Control Subjects
302 Citations1988Edward J. Stepanski, Frank Zorick +3 more
The results are interpreted as supporting the existence of a tendency towards physiological hyperarousal in patients with chronic insomnia, which may be exacerbated by other factors also associated with insomnia.
SLEEPCaffeine Use as a Model of Acute and Chronic Insomnia
231 Citations1992Michael H. Bonnet, Donna L. Arand
The data indicated that caffeine was effective in producing significant metabolic and sleep effects and that those effects were related, consistent with the interpretation that a chronic decrease in sleep efficiency associated with increased physiological arousal, although producing subjective dysphoria, does not produce a physiological sleep debt.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyEEG power spectra in sleep-onset insomnia
207 Citations1986Robert Freedman
Insomniacs have increased beta and decreased alpha activity relative to normals prior to the onset of stage 2 sleep, and the present data suggest that a CNS component of this activity, reflected by increased beta EEG, is reactivated during REM sleep.
Journal of Psychiatric ResearchPhysiological and psychological differences between good and poor sleepers
194 Citations1986Kirstine Adam, Maureen Tomeny +1 more
It is concluded that those who complain of poor sleep have also metabolic differences from good sleepers, with the poor sleepers being significantly more inaccurate.
Psychosomatic MedicinePhysiological Activation in Patients With Sleep State Misperception
181 Citations1997Michael H. Bonnet, Donna L. Arand
The overall increase in whole body oxygen use was less than that seen in psychophysiological insomniacs but was consistent with the view that Sleep State Misperception insomnia may be a mild version or a precursor to Psychophysiological insomnia.
Journal of Abnormal PsychologyPhysiological and psychological factors in sleep-onset insomnia.
181 Citations1982Robert Freedman, Howard L. Sattler
A group of insomniacs whose only sleep-stage abnormality was prolonged sleep latency was identified and had significantly higher levels of physiological activity than did normal sleepers before sleep onset, and no group differences in presleep cognitive activity were found.
SLEEPDaytime Alertness in Relation to Mood, Performance, and Nocturnal Sleep in Chronic Insomniacs and Noncomplaining Sleepers
159 Citations1984Wesley F. Seidel, Ball Stephen +4 more
Nocturnal sleep was recorded prior to daytime testing that included the Multiple Sleep Latency Test, profile of mood states, card sorting, and Stanford Sleepiness Scale in 138 volunteers with the complaint of chronic insomnia and 89 noncomplaining sleepers ("normals").
ErgonomicsThe Effect of Memory Load on the Circadian Variation in Performance Efficiency Under a Rapidly Rotating Shift System*
156 Citations1976SIMON FOLKAKD, Peter Knauth +2 more
It is concluded that future shift work studies must take into account the memory load of subjects on a rapidly rotating (-2-2) shift system, because performance was negatively correlated with temperature and was best during the night shift.
American Journal of PsychiatryBiopsychobehavioral correlates of insomnia, V: Clinical characteristics and behavioral correlates
156 Citations1984Joyce D. Kales, Anthony Kales +5 more
The authors compared two large samples of insomniac patients with a group of control subjects, finding that psychiatric factors need to be a primary focus in the multidimensional treatment of chronic insomnia.
SLEEPThe Consequences of a Week of Insomnia
139 Citations1996Michael H. Bonnet, Donna L. Arand
It was found that insomniacs display increased tension/confusion, decreased vigor, personality disturbance, subjective over-estimation of poor sleep, increased body temperature, increased 24-hour whole body metabolic rate, and increased multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) values.
American Journal of PsychiatryLong-term study of the sleep of insomnia patients with sleep state misperception and other insomnia patients
136 Citations1992Rafael J. Salín-Pascual, T Roehrs +3 more
Investigating differences among patients with subjective insomnia, patients with objective findings of insomnia, and normal volunteers found that sleep state misperception may be a prodromic or transitional state of sleep dysfunction between normal sleep and the sleep pattern of objective insomnia.
SLEEPTwenty-Four-Hour Sleep-Wake Function and Personality Patterns in Chronic Insomniacs and Healthy Controls
128 Citations1986D Schneider-Helmert
A test for unintentional sleep suggested that poor sleep function in insomniacs is related to deficient sleep-controlling mechanisms, rather than psychological trait and state factors.
Perceptual and Motor SkillsSome Effects of Sleep Loss on Memory
105 Citations1966Harold L. Williams, Charles F. Gieseking +1 more
The results imply that moderate sleep loss causes deficit in formation of the memory trace rather than in storage or retrieval functions and that this effect is probably independent of the physiological lapses (brief periods of sleep) which affect vigilance and sensory registration.
Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchInsomnia: Sleep patterns and anxiety level
103 Citations1974Stephen N. Haynes, Diane R. Follingstad +1 more
Recently, several investigators have reported successful treatment of insomnia in a number of uncontrolled case studies using variants of systematic desensitization or relaxation training, based on the premise that anxiety or heightened autonomic arousal is an etiological or maintaining factor.

81 Citations1982Anthony Kales, Antonio Vela‐Bueno +4 more
The psychiatrist can thoroughly evaluate the insomniac patient by combining psychiatric assessment with a complete sleep history, and the claim that these conditions are common causes of insomnia is not substantiated by this controlled study.
PsychopharmacologyMood and performance of poor sleepers during repeated use of flurazepam
78 Citations1979Michael W. Church, Laverne C. Johnson
Flurazepam had no significant effect on mood or feelings of sleepiness in the morning or at bedtime despite subjective ratings of a ‘more restful’ and ‘better’ sleep and improved sleep latencies.

52 Citations1983Thomas J. Coates, Joel D. Killen +5 more
Persons who reported being “awake,”“actor,�” and “picture” showed significantly greater discrepancies between reported and recorded sleep than persons who reported “sleep”, “audience” or “thought”.

29 Citations1985Stephen N. Haynes, Stephen G. Fitzgerald +2 more
A comparison of the results from this study with those from three all-night studies using identical facilities and procedures revealed that the sleep-onset latencies from this nap study were within the ranges expected on the basis of the all- night studies.
