📋Overview
Insomnia involves clinical observations of inadequate sleep quality or quantity despite having adequate opportunity for rest. This condition may manifest as difficulty initiating sleep, frequent nocturnal awakenings, or waking too early without the ability to return to sleep, which can lead to significant distress in social or occupational settings.
The condition is categorized as either acute or chronic based on duration and frequency, and it may occur as a primary neurological concern or secondary to other underlying medical or psychological factors. Modern clinical terminology uses this designation to encompass various forms of sleep disruption that were historically described as sleeplessness.
