Sleep state misperception is a condition in which a person has difficulty accurately assessing their own level of sleepiness or wakefulness. This can result in confusion about whether one is awake or asleep, and can lead to sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up in the morning. Sleep state misperception is often seen in individuals with sleep disorders such as insomnia or narcolepsy, and can also be caused by certain medications, alcohol, or other factors. Clinical sleep educators can help individuals with sleep state misperception understand the factors contributing to their symptoms and develop strategies for improving their sleep.
