Signs indicating insomnia were: sleep latency of 30 min or more; waking up after falling asleep and difficulty in falling asleep again for 30 min or more, or premature morning awakening for more than 30 min, more than three times a week. The use of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Sleep Disorders Questionnaire</span> (SDQ) in the first consultation complemented the clinical interview on identifying patients with insomnia, and also provided information about sleep time before NVS. Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) was evaluated as well. The OSAS diagnosis was obtained by performing a cardiorespiratory sleep study and/or a polysomnography, which allowed us to classify OSAS severity as mild (AHI: 5–15/h), moderate (AHI: 16–30/h) and severe (AHI > 30/h).<a href="#bib27" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Patients presenting potentially insomnia inducing disorders (anxiety, depression, psychophysiological insomnia, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, altered circadian rhythm, substance abuse, stimulants, antidepressants, anxiolytics, sedatives and hypnotic drugs, inadequate sleep hygiene, medical condition and/or environmental factors that disturb sleep) were excluded.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">All patients were treated with NVS. Subsequent consultations were held every 3–4 months, until any problems were resolved. The symptoms of insomnia were reassessed through clinical questionnaires, as well as the ESS. The ventilator records were also taken into account. Sleep time after NVS was inferred from the ventilator adherence records. Patients were considered adherent to NVS treatment if complying with more than 4 h a night in, at least, 70% of nights.<a href="#bib28" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS statistical software, version 17 (Chicago, IL).

AHI and ESS have also evolved favorably.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Previous studies have proved that patients with OSAS and insomnia showed improvement in terms of insomnia complaints and daytime sleepiness as a response to OSAS related therapeutic approaches, such as the use of CPAP,<a href="#bib29" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> surgical treatment of OSAS,<a href="#bib30" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> or the applying of nasal dilator strips.<a href="#bib31" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">One of the differences between our work and others who have evaluated the relationship between OSAS and insomnia subtypes is the criteria used to choose patients. We have excluded patients with other identifiable causes for insomnia, in an attempt to select patients with symptoms secondary to OSAS; the other studies evaluated both OSAS and comorbid insomnia whatever the cause of insomnia.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In spite of using different criteria for selection, in a similar way to previous studies,<a href="#bib26" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">, </span><a href="#bib32" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> the most frequent insomnia subtype in our study was the intermediate (39.3%).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Chung and co.<a href="#bib26" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> have proposed a causal relationship between intermediate insomnia and OSAS, with the multiple microawakenings secondary to repeated apneas resulting in sleep fragmentation and, thus, symptoms of intermediate insomnia. The same authors have also verified that patients with OSAS and intermediate insomnia were more obese, had higher AHI and higher ESS score than patients with OSAS and initial insomnia.<a href="#bib26" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">, </span><a href="#bib32" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> On the other hand, patients with OSAS and initial insomnia were not sleepier than patients with OSAS and no insomnia, which is consistent with the hyperarousal state in patients with insomnia. Bjornsdottir and co. (2013) have not only verified a higher adherence to PAP by patients with intermediate insomnia, but also a significant improvement in complaints under treatment, once more favoring a causal relationship between OSAS and intermediate insomnia. On the contrary, it can be observed in the same study that there is not only a negative impact of initial insomnia regarding adherence to PAP, but also a lack of a significant improvement in complaints under PAP.<a href="#bib33" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Contrary to the above mentioned studies, in our work insomnia subgroups did not present significant differences regarding both BMI and basal AHI. The ESS score was higher in patients with initial insomnia than in those with intermediate insomnia. We also verified a significant adherence to treatment not only by patients with intermediate insomnia, but also by patients with initial and terminal insomnia, with adherence rates higher than 80%. Only mixed insomnia patients had a lower adherence rate. The treatment's success rates regarding the resolution of insomnia complaints were equally important for all insomnia subtypes, except for the mixed subtype. The fact that we have made an attempt to select only cases secondary to OSAS may explain that not only intermediate insomnia, but also the initial and terminal subtypes presented high BMI, AHI and ESS values, typical of OSAS, as well as good adherence to NVS and good results. In this perspective, and considering that insomnia is characteristically connected with a state of hyperarousal, every patient with insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness should arouse suspicion of associated OSAS, namely as a cause for insomnia itself.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">An analysis by insomnia subtype has shown that the majority of patients with mixed insomnia did not overcome the symptoms of insomnia, despite an improvement in AHI, ESS and sleep time. These results suggest that all subtypes were related to OSAS, except mixed insomnia.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Why did some patients maintain insomnia complaints, despite the efforts to eliminate other possible causes for insomnia? An explanation to consider would be the existence of a true insomnia secondary to OSAS in these patients, solved after treating obstructive events with NVS; originating, however, insomnia secondary to the use of NVS itself, as reported in the study by Mota et al. (2011).<a href="#bib34" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> In this study, most patients with insomnia <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">de novo</span> were being treated with APAP. Previous studies have suggested that pressure variation during the night could be the reason for sleep fragmentation, and, as a consequence, insomnia complaints in patients undergoing APAP.<a href="#bib35" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">, </span><a href="#bib36" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> During our study, all patients that kept insomnia after beginning NVS were under APAP, except one patient with BPAP. Another possibility would be the presence of exclusion diagnostics, harder to identify, such as idiopathic insomnia, paradoxical insomnia, or even changes in the circadian rhythm. There is also the fact that patients were not evaluated by mental health specialists, or through specific questionnaires for depression and anxiety evaluation. These issues may have allowed for subtle psychological factors to remain unidentified. Still, even admitting that some patients may have escaped the attempted exclusion of cases of insomnia not secondary to OSAS, the obtained results really do seem to support our initial hypothesis.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A comparison between the group of patients that solved insomnia and the group of patients that did not has shown that the adaptation of the latter was significantly slower, and required higher airway pressures. Moreover, patients that did not solve insomnia presented higher residual AHI than patients that solved insomnia. This finding may justify the need for higher airway pressures, greater discomfort and, as a consequence, more time to adapt. These patients also presented a higher pre- and post-treatment ESS when compared to patients that solved insomnia. The higher post-treatment ESS could be justified by the fact that the respiratory events were not completely solved (residual AHI: 5.2 ± 4.0/h), although there still seems to be a great discrepancy between residual AHI and daytime sleepiness complaints. Could a higher pre- and post-treatment ESS be connected with a different insomnia etiology in patients that failed to solve it? But, if it is indeed insomnia not associated with OSAS, since it did not improve with NVS, would it not be expected that the ESS be lower than that of patients that have solved insomnia, thus reflecting a hyperarousal state? The follow-up of patients did not allow clarification of these doubts, and more research is needed in this particular subject area.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">It has also been observed that even though they did not meet the criteria of NVS adherence (4 h on 70% of nights), six patients overcame insomnia. These data suggest that a reduced use of NVS may yield therapeutic benefits as well.</p><a name="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"></a><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conclusion</span><p class="elsevierStylePara">NVS has proved effective in treating insomnia secondary to OSAS, and favorable results were observed even in patients that did not meet the criteria of NVS adherence.
