Summary
Insomnia involves immune cells like T cells and B cells, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Regulating the immune system is key for better sleep and treating insomnia.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Sleep Medicine
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Insomnia significantly impacts quality of life and immune function, potentially leading to chronic diseases.
- The intricate link between insomnia and immune responses requires further exploration despite existing research on sleep and immunity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis exploring the interaction between immune cells and insomnia.
- To identify key immune responses and their roles in insomnia development and associated comorbidities.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of research articles from Web of Science Core Collection (2000-2023).
- Identification of trends and research areas concerning immune cells (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and insomnia.
Main Results:
- Various immune cells (T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes) are crucial in insomnia pathogenesis.
- Immune cells contribute to inflammatory responses linked to sleep disturbances.
- Insomnia is associated with comorbidities like cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression, and cancer, all involving immune dysfunction.
Conclusions:
- Immune regulation is vital for improving sleep quality and treating insomnia.
- Future research should integrate immune modulation into insomnia therapeutic strategies.
- Targeted therapies for immune-related insomnia and its comorbidities require interdisciplinary investigation.

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience these disruptions at least three nights a week for at least one month. Chronic insomnia, which lasts for at least three months, can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn can worsen sleep difficulties, creating a cycle of sleeplessness and stress.

Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...
