Patients with MACS exhibited shorter sleep duration, longer sleep latency, more severe daytime dysfunction, lower sleep efficiency, and a higher sleep medication use compared to referent subjects (P = &amp;lt;.001 for all). Age-, sex, and body mass index-adjusted analysis demonstrated no differences in PSQI or its subcomponents between patients with CS and MACS (P &amp;gt; .05 for all). In a multivariable analysis of patients with MACS, younger age, female sex, and higher clinical hypercortisolism severity score were associated with impaired sleep. In patients with CS, only younger age was associated with poor sleep.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with MACS demonstrate sleep impairment that is similar to patients with CS.
