| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Biological factors underlying sleep-maintenance insomnia (sleep disruption) are not well understood, only REM sleep dysregulation has been implicated. Cross-sectional analysis of the sleep-maintenance insomnia symptoms in hypersomnia and control subjects revealed that REM sleep tendency in MSLT is strongly associated with the degree of sleep disruption (p=.002), indicating that easy transition between REM sleep and Wake could form one of the basis of sleep disruption. Decreased CPT1 activity is associated with frequent sleep disruption in hypersomnia patients group. Preliminary data showed that facilitation of CPT1 activity improved both sleep maintenance insomnia and REM sleep continuity in one narcolepsy patient. These data suggest that dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism could serve as a possible determinant of sleep disruption and REM sleep dysregulation.
