Mary A. Carskadon,W C Dement,Merrill M. Mitler,Christian Guilleminault,Vincent P. Zarcone,R. Spiegel +5 more
TL;DR: The authors compared the sleep laboratory recordings of 122 drug-free subjects who complained of chronic insomnia with the subjects' estimates of their habitual sleep characteristics and their estimated sleep time on the morning after sleeping in the laboratory, finding that most subjects consistently underestimated the amount of time they slept and overestimated the time it took them to get to sleep.
