Insomnia is a sleep disorder wherein a patient can’t fall asleep, stay asleep, or both, resulting in the patient having little to no sleep.
There are different types of insomnia depending on how long the patient has the condition. It can be acute, which is short-term, or chronic, which is long-term.
Causes may vary and depend on the type of insomnia the patient has. Causes of acute insomnia are stress from the patient’s relationships, environment, or a traumatic event and substances. Meanwhile, causes of chronic insomnia are changes in work, travel, stress, or feeling upset for an extended period. In some cases, chronic insomnia can also be a side effect or symptom of another condition, disorder, or medication.
Those who are most likely at risk are older adults who are stressed, distressed, working at night, constantly traveling across time zones, aren’t active, or have financial problems.
To diagnose insomnia, a practitioner obtains a patient’s medical and sleep history, does a physical exam, and, if needed, does a sleep study.
Treatment is usually one or a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. However, if insomnia is a side effect or symptom, the therapy will be to treat the condition/problem or to change the prescribed medication.
