Assessing Night-to-Night Sleep Variability as a Hallmark of Chronic Insomnia Using Longitudinal, Contactless, Mobile Sleep Monitoring: Prospective Cohort Study Background: Chronic insomnia affects more than 30% of US adults, is more prevalent in women and older adults, and is strongly associated with poor mental and physical health outcomes. Poor sleep quality and intraindividual variability of sleep are recognized to be key characteristics of chronic insomnia, but longitudinal assessment of sleep is largely subjective, with no objective characterization of sleep patterns and intraindividual variability over extended periods. Objective, ecologically valid longitudinal sleep measurements are needed to help identify and manage insomnia in both clinical and population settings. Consumer sleep technologies offer a possible solution, but their clinical utility remains relatively unexplored. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the utility of a contactless, radio frequency–based device by demonstrating its ability to objectively characterize sleep in individuals with insomnia over an extended observation period in a naturalistic home environment. Methods: Eighty-three participants meeting criteria for chronic insomnia and 29 healthy good-sleeper controls underwent 8 consecutive weeks of home-based sleep monitoring using an objective, contactless, radio frequency–based sleep monitoring device. Sleep efficiency, sleep latency, intermittent wakefulness, time in bed, and total sleep time were objectively quantified as daily means and SDs. Results: Compared to healthy controls, individuals with chronic insomnia exhibited reduced sleep efficiency, increased sleep latency, and increased intermittent wakefulness. They also demonstrated significantly higher night-to-night variability (SDs) in sleep efficiency, sleep latency, and intermittent wakefulness than good-sleeper controls (all

#Melatonin is effective for #circadian-phase adjustments with limited efficacy for chronic #insomnia

#CBT-I is the recommended first-line treatment for #chronicinsomnia ,with pharmacotherapy as an adjunct.

Long-term melatonin use may increase heart failure risk, challenging its perceived safety.

For the last 25 years I’ve never gotten more than 2-3 hours sleep. Medication doesn’t work, neither does exercise, meditation, and every snake oil home remedy I can find. I guess I’m tired of being tired.

I turn on this episode of #TheSCPExperience and the first sentence is calling me out personally 😂

"Jonathan honestly could not remember the last time he had slept a full night." Geez, that's a little too accurate already lol. #ChronicInsomnia #ChronicPain #Anxiety

this was suppose to say "20 hours" and not years but hey that's what 4 and a half hours of sleep consistently will get ya #chronicinsomnia

there's a get together soon with old (but not close) friends I knew 20 years ago & I am currently pushing my sleeping schedule & awake duration forward so i'm not sleep deprived for this occasion & i think i'm getting too old for pushing myself to extremes but they also won't relent #chronicinsomnia

My father has a thing where once he sneezes he then sneezes violently about 7 or 8 times in a row & I'm so fucking glad i didn't inherit that trait lol
