This narrative review examines comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA), detailing its epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic challenges for clinicians. It highlights the condition's association with severe cardiovascular and mental health risks, noting that standard single-modality treatments often yield limited results. The resource discusses treatment strategies, including combined cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia with continuous positive airway pressure, as well as emerging pharmacotherapies.
