Brief Summary: We aim to assess the influence of chronic insomnia on the neuroendocrine regulation of the glucose and lipid metabolism to more clearly define the metabolic derangements associated with chronic insomnia and to prove that chronic insomnia is associated with increased levels of stress hormones cytokines and impaired insulin sensitivity
Detailed Description: Sleep fragmentation has previously been shown to result in activation of the stress axis as indicated by enhanced cortisol and catecholamine release and a proinflammatory state mirrored by increased concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNFa Therefore sleep deprivation is associated with a similar pattern of endocrine and proinflammatory alterations that may promote the insulin resistant state Thus it is of paramount interest to clearly define the metabolic alterations in patients with primary insomnia

Patients with with suspected primary insomnia will be recruited from the sleep clinic at the University Hospital Basel and by newspaper ads Primary insomnia will be diagnosed by a polysomnographic study and the exclusion of secondary causes such as depression sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome Eligible patients will be admitted to the CRC for metabolic studies including baseline blood samples for the measurement of hormones cytokines and adipokines a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp study for the assessment of glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity and in vivo NMR studies to determine intrahepatic and intramyocellular lipid content

The data obtained in insomnic patients will be compared to those of a control group matched for age sex BMI menopausal status and physical activity selected from the general population
