Insomnia: Conceptual Issues in the Development, Persistence, and Treatment of Sleep Disorder in Adults
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated psychobiological inhibition model of insomnia is developed that accounts for the research data, and it is proposed that sleep homeostatic and circadian factors are compromised by impairment of the automaticity and plasticity associated with good sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Active and placebo treatment effects on moderate insomnia under counterdemand and positive demand instructions.
