Healthy sleepers show stronger sympathetic nervous system activity during sleep deprivation compared to those with chronic insomnia. This finding is from the abstract summary - full study details were not available

Scientific Claim

Healthy controls exhibit more pronounced sympathetic nervous system activity than individuals with chronic insomnia during total sleep deprivation.

Original Statement

“more pronounced sympathetic effects observed in the healthy controls compared to individuals with insomnia.”

Sleep deprivation increases sympathetic nervous system activity, elevating heart rate and vascular resistance, while restorative sleep enhances parasympathetic activity, reducing cardiac output and vascular resistance.

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
