Abstract

Comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) represents the confluence of two prevalent sleep disorders: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic insomnia. This review explores the intricate epidemiology, multifaceted pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic conundrums, and therapeutic strategies associated with COMISA. The interplay between OSA and insomnia complicates both diagnosis and management, necessitating a nuanced and multidisciplinary approach. Despite advances in understanding COMISA, significant challenges remain in optimizing patient care and improving outcomes.
