Fathoming sleep depth: a novel approach to the understanding and assessing of sleep-state misperception in insomnia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We all need to sleep and, yet, not everyone sleeps well. The reasons why some sleep well and others do not is largely unknown, despite the far-reaching consequences of insomnia. We propose one reason some people report poor sleep is due to the brain abnormally monitoring the internal and external world during sleep. By focusing on understanding the mechanisms underlying insomnia, I hope to take a crucial step in devising more efficient individualised therapeutic approaches.
