Neurocognitive performance in insomnia disorder: The impact of hyperarousal and short sleep duration

Given the recent evidence on the association between hyperarousal in insomnia disorder and neurocognitive deficits, we aimed to examine the effect of short sleep duration on neurocognitive reaction time tests in insomnia disorder sufferers. We recruited subjects with insomnia disorder (n = 35, mean age = 40.6 years) who scored ≥29 on a Hyperarousal Scale, and a group of controls (n = 54, mean age = 31.5 years) who had no sleep disorders and scored
