Abstract

Insomnia is a common disorder characterized by persistent sleep difficulties despite adequate opportunity and circumstances for sleep accompanied by impairment in daytime functioning. This chapter reviews assessment procedures for insomnia with an emphasis on insomnia as a diagnostic entity that is a subjective and 24-h disorder diagnosed through clinical observations of symptoms. In addition, this chapter reviews the clinical management of insomnia discussing both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. The efficacy, durability, and limitations of these interventions are also reviewed.
