Sleep maintenance insomnia

Sleep maintenance insomnia is a clinical subtype of insomnia disorder characterized by persistent difficulty sustaining sleep throughout the night despite adequate opportunity and circumstances for rest It is defined clinically by frequent nocturnal awakenings, prolonged periods of wakefulness after initial sleep onset, or premature early-morning awakenings accompanied by an inability to return to sleep Pathophysiologically, it is driven by systemic neurobiological hyperarousal, disruptions in s...

Primarily involving central nervous system sleep-wake regulatory circuits, this condition frequently affects adults and increases in prevalence among older populations

Pathophysiologically, it is driven by systemic neurobiological hyperarousal, disruptions in sleep architecture, and imbalances in arousal-promoting neurotransmitters such as orexin and histamine, which collectively result in fragmented, nonrestorative sleep and subsequent daytime functional impairment
