Sleep state misperception
Sleep state misperception (SSM) is a term in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) most commonly used for people who mistakenly perceive their sleep as wakefulness, though it has been proposed that it can be applied to those who severely overestimate their sleep time as well ("positive" sleep state misperception). While most sleepers with this condition will report not having slept in the previous night at all or having slept very little, clinical recordings generally show normal sleep patterns. Though the sleep patterns found in those with SSM have long been considered indistinguishable from those without, some preliminary research suggest there may be subtle differences (see Symptoms and diagnosis: Spectral analysis).
Patients are otherwise generally in good health, and any illnesses—such as depression—appear to be more associated with fear of negative consequences of insomnia ("insomnia phobia") than from any actual loss of sleep.
Sleep state misperception was adopted by the ICSD to replace two previous diagnostic terminologies: "subjective insomnia complaint without objective findings" and "subjective sleepiness complaint without objective findings."
The validity and reliability of sleep state misperception as a pertinent diagnosis has been questioned, with studies finding poor empirical support.
Sleep state misperception is classified as an intrinsic dyssomnia.[unreliable medical source?][unreliable medical source?] While SSM is regarded a sub-type of insomnia, it is also established as a separate sleep-condition, with distinct pathophysiology. Nonetheless, the value of distinguishing this type of insomnia from other types is debatable due to the relatively low frequency of SSM being reported.
Sleep state misperception can also be further broken down into several types, by patients who:
The validity and reliability of the sleep state misperception as a pertinent medical entity was questioned. A study found poor empirical support for this diagnostic item.
This sleep disorder frequently applies when patients report not feeling tired despite their subjective perception of not having slept.[unreliable medical source?] Generally, they may describe experiencing several years of no sleep, short sleep, or non-restorative sleep. Otherwise, patients appear healthy, both psychiatrically and medically. (That this condition is often asymptomatic could explain why it is relatively unreported.)
