During sleep deprivation, people with chronic insomnia don't show as much increase in parasympathetic activity at night compared to healthy people. This finding is from the abstract summary - full study details were not available
Scientific Claim
The nighttime shift toward greater parasympathetic activity is less pronounced in individuals with chronic insomnia than in healthy controls during total sleep deprivation.
Original Statement
“the significant period-by-group interactions revealed that this shift was less pronounced in the insomnia group for all measured parameters (all F>2.24, P<0.02).”
