| ABSTRACT |
|
Chronic insomnia is highly prevalent and affects approximately 30% of the general population. Insomnia impairs daytime function
and results in decreased quality of life. Despite its burden, insomnia continues to be inadequately identified, evaluated and treated in
clinical practices. Several diagnostic criteria and classification systems exist for the evaluation of insomnia but there continue to lack
a standardized definition of insomnia and guidelines for assessment. In recognition of this problem, research diagnostic criteria and practice
parameters for insomnia has been formulated by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. |
