  • Title: Comorbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnea: mechanisms and implications of an underrecognized and misinterpreted sleep disorder.
    Author: Meira E Cruz M, Kryger MH, Morin CM, Palombini L, Salles C, Gozal D.
    Journal: Sleep Med; 2021 Aug; 84():283-288. PubMed ID: 34214960.
    Abstract:
    Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and insomnia have long been recognized as important sleep disrupters often associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although they are often seen as divergent conditions, mainly because their cardinal symptoms (excessive daytime sleepiness, and sleep loss) differ, these two sleep disorders present with many common symptoms, which may hinder diagnosis and treatment. In addition to possible bidirectional pathways between SDB and insomnia, other factors such as circadian timing may play a role. In this paper, we review the mechanisms, differential clinical aspects, and implications of Comorbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnea, sometimes termed COMISA.
