Core Concept: Sleep hygiene and behavioral interventions for insomnia.
Clinical Presentation:
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep, daytime fatigue, and irritability.
Diagnosis:
- First-line: Sleep diary and comprehensive clinical history.
- Gold Standard: Polysomnography (if underlying sleep disorders like apnea are suspected).
Management:
- Acute: Short-term use of sleep aids (rarely recommended).
- Long-term: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and strict sleep hygiene. The bed should be reserved only for sleep and intimacy; reading in bed stimulates the brain and conditions it to stay awake, requiring further teaching.
