Sleep is preceded by physiological and behavioural events that inform the subject that it is time to sleep. Our hypothesis is that insomniacs do not adequately recognize such signals, thus missing the best time to go to bed. Eighty-seven chronic insomniac participants and 76 age-matched good sleeper controls were recruited. Semi-structured interviews focused on three aspects of nocturnal sleep: features, habitual activities and signals that they usually rely on in order to decide their readiness to sleep. The results showed that insomniacs relied more than good sleepers on external signals (time) than on bodily ones to decide to go to sleep.
睡眠之前会出现一些生理和行为事件，这些事件会告知个体是时候睡觉了。我们的假设是，失眠症患者不能充分识别这些信号，从而错过最佳的上床睡觉时间。招募了87名慢性失眠症参与者和76名年龄匹配的良好睡眠者作为对照。半结构化访谈聚焦于夜间睡眠的三个方面：特征、习惯性活动以及他们通常依靠来判断自己是否准备好入睡的信号。结果显示，与良好睡眠者相比，失眠症患者在决定入睡时更多地依赖外部信号（时间）而非身体信号。
