Insomniacs woke up 30 times a night 90% of the time because of brief respiratory problems and none of the people in the study would have thought it was a breathing issue. They attributed their insomnia to nightmares, a need for the bathroom, pain or “racing thoughts.” “Almost all of the awakenings turned out to be preceded within a second by an abnormal breathing process — which led to the awakening,” said Dr. Barry Krakow, medical director of the Maimonides clinic and its research arm, the Sleep and Human Health Institute.
