ABSTRACT
Good sleepers and patients with insomnia symptoms (poor sleepers) were tracked with two measures of arousal; conventional polysomnography (PSG) for electroencephalogram (EEG) assessed cortical arousals, and a peripheral arterial tonometry device was used for the detection of peripheral nervous system (PNS) arousals associated with vasoconstrictions. The relationship between central (cortical) and peripheral (autonomic) arousals was examined by evaluating their close temporal dynamics. Cortical arousals almost invariably were preceded and followed by peripheral activations, while large peripheral autonomic arousals were followed by cortical arousals only half of the time. The temporal contiguity of these two types of arousals was altered in poor sleepers, and poor sleepers displayed a higher number of cortical and peripheral arousals compared with good sleepers. Given the difference in the number of peripheral autonomic arousals between good and poor sleepers, an evaluation of such arousals could become a means of physiologically distinguishing poor sleepers.
