Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The mechanisms underlying hyperarousal, the key symptom of insomnia, have remained elusive, hampering cause-targeted treatment. Recently, restless rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep emerged as a robust signature of sleep in insomnia. Given the role of REM sleep in emotion regulation, we hypothesized that restless REM sleep could interfere with the overnight resolution of emotional distress, thus contributing to accumulation of arousal. Participants (n = 1,199) completed questionnaires on insomnia severity, hyperarousal, self-conscious emotional distress, and thought-like nocturnal mentation that was validated to be a specific proxy for restless REM sleep (selective fragmentation: R = 0.57, P < 0.001; eye movement density: R = 0.46, P < 0.01) in 32 polysomnographically assessed participants. The experience of distress lasting overnight increased with insomnia severity (ß = 0.29, P < 10-23), whereas short-lasting distress did not (ß = -0.02, P = 0.41). Insomnia severity was associated with hyperarousal (ß = 0.47, P < 10-63) and with the thought-like nocturnal mentation that is specifically associated with restless REM sleep (ß = 0.31, P < 10-26). Structural equation modeling showed that 62.4% of the association between these key characteristics of insomnia was mediated specifically by reduced overnight resolution of emotional distress. The model outperformed all alternative mediation pathways. The findings suggest that restless REM sleep reflects a process that interferes with the overnight resolution of distress. Its accumulation may promote the development of chronic hyperarousal, giving clinical relevance to the role of REM sleep in emotion regulation in insomnia, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Study Objectives Mechanisms underlying the distress of hyperarousal in people with insomnia remain enigmatic. We investigated whether insomnia impedes the overnight adaptation to emotional distress.
Methods We induced the distressful self-conscious emotion of shame four times across three consecutive days by exposing 64 participants to their often embarrassingly out-of-tune singing, recorded earlier during a Karaoke session. Perceived physical, emotional, and social distress was assessed with the Experiential Shame Scale.
Results Compared to exposures followed by wakefulness, exposures followed by sleep resulted in overnight relief of physical component of shame in normal sleepers, but in a striking opposite overnight worsening in people with insomnia.
Conclusions Our findings are the first to experimentally show that the benefits of sleep are not only lost when sleep is poor; people with insomnia experience a maladaptive type of sleep that actually aggravates physically perceived distress. Maladaptive sleep could shed new light on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and on diurnal mood fluctuation and the counterintuitive favorable effects of sleep deprivation in depression.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
The mechanisms of hyperarousal, the key symptom of insomnia, have remained elusive. Recently, restless REM sleep emerged as a robust signature of insomnia. Given the role of REM sleep in emotion regulation, we hypothesized that restless REM sleep could interfere with the overnight resolution of emotional distress, thus contributing to accumulation of arousal.
AIMS
We aimed to investigate whether restless REM sleep impedes overnight distress resolution, and accumulates as hyperarousal.
METHOD
Observational and experimental studies employed psychometrics, EEG and fMRI. We first validated a proxy measure for restless REM sleep, and assessed it in a large sample along with measures of distress dissolving and hyperarousal. We then implemented an internet-protocol to induce self-conscious distress and assessed distress dissipation across 5 consecutive days. The same distress-inducing protocol was used in a MRI scanner while conditioning it to a simultaneously provided odor. The odor was again given during part of the subsequent sleep period, to induce targeted memory reactivation. A second MRI scan of distress induction evaluated how neural correlates of its impact changed overnight.
RESULTS
Of the association between restless REM sleep and hyperarousal, 62.4% was mediated specifically by reduced overnight resolution of emotional distress in insomnia. In people with insomnia, a night's sleep could even increase distress, rather than resolve it. MRI findings indicated activation of the salience network during the induction self-conscious emotions, that ameliorated with sleep but not with a similar interval of being awake.
CONCLUSION
Restless REM sleep interferes with overnight maintenance of balanced salience network activation.

Haunted by the past: old emotions remain salient in insomnia disorder
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
Studies suggest that sleep supports persistent changes in the neuronal representation of emotional experiences such that they are remembered better and less distressful when recalled than when they were first experienced. It is conceivable that sleep fragmentation by arousals, a key characteristic of insomnia disorder, could hamper the downregulation of distress. In this study, we sought further support for the idea that insomnia disorder may involve a lasting deficiency to downregulate emotional distress. We used functional MRI in insomnia disorder (n = 27) and normal sleepers (n = 30) to identify how brain activation differs between novel and relived self-conscious emotions. We evaluated whether brain activity elicited by reliving emotional memories from the distant past resembles the activity elicited by novel emotional experiences more in insomnia disorder than in normal sleepers. Limbic areas were activated during novel shameful experiences as compared to neutral experiences in both normal sleepers and insomnia disorder. In normal sleepers, reliving of shameful experiences from the past did not elicit a limbic response. In contrast, participants with insomnia disorder recruited overlapping parts of the limbic circuit, in particular the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, during both new and relived shameful experiences. The differential activity patterns with new and old emotions in normal sleepers suggest that reactivation of the long-term memory trace does not recruit the limbic circuit. The overlap of activations in insomnia disorder is in line with the hypothesis that the disorder involves a deficiency to dissociate the limbic circuit from the emotional memory trace. Moreover, the findings provide further support for a role of the anterior cingulate cortex in insomnia.
