摘要：Background Chronic primary insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with adverse effects on health outcomes. Sleep disturbance is usually associated with abnormal level of systemic inflammation biomarkers. Objective The aim of this study was to detect changes in sleep quality and inflammatory markers following weight loss among subjects with chronic primary insomnia. Material and methods Eighty previously sedentary subjects with chronic primary insomnia subjects enrolled in this study, their age ranged from 32–51 year were randomly assigned to life style intervention group (group A, n=40) or control group (group B, n=40). Polysomnographic recordings for sleep quality assessment, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were measured before and at the end of the study after six months. Results There was a significant increase in the total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and IL-10 in addition to significant reduction in awake time after sleep onset, REM latency, IL-6 and TNF-α after 6 months of in group(A) as a result of weight loss program; while the results of the control group (group B) were not significant. Also, there were significant differences between both groups at the end of the study. Conclusion Life style intervention modulates systemic inflammatory parameters and sleep quality among subjects with chronic primary insomnia.
