Table 1. Study population comorbidities.

Comorbidities O-IN (N = 14) (N, %) P-IN (N = 24) (N, %) q value
Cardiovascular disorders (rhythm disturbances, flutter) 3 (21%) 4 (17%) 1
Endocrine disturbances (hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia) 5 (36%) 10 (43%) 1
Musculoskeletal system syndromes (arthrosis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia) 7 (50%) 20 (87%) 1
Vascular disorders (hypertension, venous insufficiency) 5 (36%) 11 (48%) 1
Dyslipidemia 0 (0%) 11 (48%) 0.2
Chronic respiratory diseases (asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) 1 (7%) 3 (13%) 0.9
Autoimmune disorders (Raynaud’s syndrome, Hashimoto) 1 (7%) 1 (4%) 1
Gastrointestinal disturbances (gastroesophageal reflux, gastritis) 2 (14%) 3 (13%) 1

The comparison between the two groups of patients (O-IN versus P-IN) was performed by using two-sided Mann-Whitney test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction, considering q (corrected p-value) <0.05 statistically significant (*). No significant difference emerged between the two groups of patients.

O-IN = Objective Insomnia patients. P-IN = Paradoxical Insomnia patients.
