Polysomnographic Characteristics of the Patients Having Chronic Insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Evidence for Paradoxical Insomnia and Comorbid Insomnia with OSA (COMISA)

Background: Sleep state misperception (SSM) is seen among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as those having insomnia. Moreover, OSA and insomnia can also be comorbid. This study aims at finding the proportion of SSM and “Comorbid Insomnia with OSA” (COMISA) among patients of OSA an...

description Background: Sleep state misperception (SSM) is seen among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as those having insomnia. Moreover, OSA and insomnia can also be comorbid. This study aims at finding the proportion of SSM and “Comorbid Insomnia with OSA” (COMISA) among patients of OSA and chronic insomnia. Macroachitecture of sleep was also compared across groups. Methods: This study utilized the retrospective laboratory and medical records of two groups of patients: chronic insomnia and OSA. Sleep disorders were diagnosed according to standard criteria. Daytime sleepiness was examined using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Diagnosis of SSM was based on the difference between subjective and objective sleep onset latency (Subjective SOL > 1.5 × Objective SOL). Results: Sixteen adult subjects were included in each group. Based on the difference between subjective and objective sleep onset latency, SSM was reported by 62.5% subjects of chronic insomnia and 56.25% subjects having OSA (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 0.31–5.33; P = 0.79). The proportion of COMISA in subjects with chronic insomnia was 18% and among subjects with OSA, it was 43%. Effect size for the proportion was calculated as odds ratio (33.96; 95% CI = 7.48–154.01; P < 0.0002). Thus, the odds for COMISA were higher among subjects with OSA than those with chronic Insomnia. The three groups (OSA, COMISA and Chronic Insomnia) were comparable with regard to the macro-architecture of sleep. Conclusion: SSM is common among subjects with OSA and chronic insomnia. COMISA was commoner among patients with OSA compared to those with chronic insomnia. Macro-architecture of sleep is comparable among groups.
