Brief Summary
Insomnia is the complaint of poor sleep and usually presents as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. People with insomnia are dissatisfied with their sleep and feel it impairs their ability to function well. Affected individuals often experience fatigue, decreased mood, irritability, malaise, and cognitive impairment. Chronic insomnia, lasting >3 months, occurs in about 10% of adults. Acute or short-term insomnia affects over 30% of adults and is often precipitated by stressful life events. Most insomnia begins in adulthood, but many patients may be predisposed and report easily disturbed sleep predating the insomnia, suggesting that their sleep is lighter than usual.
