Insomnia disorder is one of the most prevalent conditions comorbid with diabetes and has been shown to have a possible role in the development of diabetes. Insomnia is characterized by a state of excessive physiological and cognitive arousal with alterations in autonomic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function. The chronic neuroendocrine activation in insomnia may predispose insomniacs to the development of metabolic disorders including glucose intolerance. In contrast, diabetic complications, in combination with the disruption of a sleep-wake homeostatic and circadian process, can be key factors precipitating insomnia symptoms and involve several subtypes of insomnia. Furthermore, inappropriate lifestyles are also likely responsible for the exacerbation of insomnia and diabetes. Thus, the pathogenesis of insomnia disorder and diabetes could mutually interact to develop each disease with a vicious cycle, accounting for the high comorbidity between the diseases.

Insomnia and some insomnia treatments can impact an individual's daytime functioning. Here, we performed post hoc analyses of patient-reported outcomes from a phase 3 clinical trial to assess the impact of lemborexant (LEM), a dual orexin receptor antagonist, on daytime functioning. Adults with insomnia were randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, LEM 5 mg (LEM5) or LEM 10 mg (LEM10) for 6 months.

Opioid dependence is defined by an aversive withdrawal syndrome upon drug cessation that can motivate continued drug-taking, development of opioid use disorder, and precipitate relapse. An understudied but common opioid withdrawal symptom is disrupted sleep, reported as both insomnia and daytime sleepiness. Despite the prevalence and severity of sleep disturbances during opioid withdrawal, there is a gap in our understanding of their interactions.

Sleep insufficiency and sleep disorders pose serious health challenges. This study aimed to determine the potential discrepancy between subjective and objective sleep assessments, including the latter made by physicians, by analyzing a 421-participant dataset in Japan comprising multiple nights of in-home sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) data and questionnaire responses on sleep habits or subjective experiences. We employed logistic regression models to examine which subjective and objective sleep parameters physicians are paying attention to when assessing sleep insufficiency, insomnia, sleep quality, and sleep apnea.

Background: Studies have suggested associations between montelukast and increased risks of sleep disorders, including overall sleeping problems and insomnia. However, the results of observational studies are not consistent. Understanding these associations is crucial, particularly in patients solely diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, where montelukast use remains prevalent.
