Breakfast Symposia sponsored by Idorsia

The role of hyperarousal in chronic insomnia

The sleep-wake cycle is a tightly orchestrated process regulated by both sleep-promoting and arousal centres in the brain. The conscious effort to sleep was shown to be a contributor for this arousal in patients with chronic insomnia and is associated to their subjective experience of sleep loss, daytime fatigue, and performance impairment.

Recent studies have shown that patients with chronic insomnia seem to experience an overly active brain due to heightened physiological, cognitive, or emotional arousal that seems to be connected to orexin.

This presentation will explore how this new knowledge might help the audience understand this complex condition. UK-IDS-00018.
