A monitoring device indicated that greater variability from day to day across multiple sleep measurements may be a defining trait of chronic insomnia, according to a study published in JMIR Formative Research.
“To our knowledge, this is the longest naturalistic observation of sleep in patients with insomnia,” Devon A. Hansen, PhD, LMHC, an assistant professor at Washington State University, told Healio.
“The clinical implications are that long-term monitoring may be needed to fully capture/understand the complexity of sleep patterns in those with insomnia,” he continued. “Brief snapshots like
