Abstract in brief

Insomnia disorder is a common mental health issue, and hyperarousal—being in a heightened state of alertness—is a central idea in understanding its causes and development.
The evidence shows that physiological hyperarousal involves neuroendocrine changes and increased high-frequency brain activity, while findings on autonomic measures like heart rate are inconclusive.
Cognitive-emotional hyperarousal, such as persistent worries and intrusive thoughts, also plays a key role, influencing both the onset and possible related mental health conditions; more long-term studies are needed to understand these mechanisms fully.]
