This phenomenon may delay the remission of depression. Previous studies have focused on the total sleep time (TST) misperception, with many of these studies using actigraphy. Thus, our study investigated depressed patients with the exploratory aim of clarifying factors associated with the sleep state misperception including the wake after sleep onset (WASO) misperception, with their objective sleep additionally evaluated by polysomnography (PSG).Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study. Before undergoing overnight PSG monitoring, 40 patients with depression completed questionnaires that included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Epworth sleepiness scale, Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Patients were also asked to estimate their subjective sleep duration after they woke up in the morning. Based on this data, we calculated the misperception using the following formula: subjective sleep duration minus objective sleep duration. We compared each factor between negative and positive misperception groups and the multiple regression analysis was performed for TST and WASO misperception, respectively.Results: Although sleep architectures, age, severity of depression and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibited differences in underestimating or overestimating the WASO, only sex differences were associated with underestimating or overestimating their total sleep time (TST). Moreover, BDI, the severity of OSA, sleep architectures (N1% and N2%), and benzodiazepine (BZD) use were significantly correlated with WASO misperception, whereas only OSA severity was significantly correlated with TST misperception. A subsequent multiple regression analysis demonstrated the BDI was independently correlated with the WASO misperception (β=0.341, p=0.049).Conclusion: In clinical practice, interventions especially for OSA, and the reduction of depressive symptoms are an important method for improving patient sleep perception. Moreover, current results suggest that BZD prescriptions should be avoided as well.Keywords: insomnia, personality, sleep architectures, discrepancy, sleep disorders
