The present study aimed at further investigating trait aspects of sleep-related cognitive arousal and general cognitive arousal and their association with both objective and subjective sleep parameters in primary insomnia patients.
A clinical sample of 182 primary insomnia patients and 54 healthy controls was investigated using 2 nights of polysomnography, subjective sleep variables, and a questionnaire on sleep-related and general cognitive arousal.
Compared to healthy controls, primary insomnia patients showed both more sleep-related and general cognitive arousal. Furthermore, sleep-related cognitive arousal was closely associated with measures of sleep-onset and sleep-maintenance problems, while general cognitive arousal was not.
Cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia might benefit from dedicating more effort to psychological interventions that are able to reduce sleep-related cognitive arousal.
本研究旨在进一步探讨睡眠相关认知唤醒和一般认知唤醒的特质方面,以及它们与原发性失眠患者的客观和主观睡眠参数的关系。
使用 2 晚多导睡眠图、主观睡眠变量和睡眠相关及一般认知唤醒问卷,对 182 名原发性失眠患者和 54 名健康对照进行了临床研究。
与健康对照组相比,原发性失眠患者的睡眠相关认知唤醒和一般认知唤醒均较高。此外,睡眠相关认知唤醒与入睡和睡眠维持问题的测量指标密切相关,而一般认知唤醒则没有。
针对失眠的认知行为治疗可能受益于更多地专注于能够降低睡眠相关认知唤醒的心理干预。
