Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diagnosis of insomnia is primarily based on the subjective experience of the condition, namely difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and feeling unrefreshed during the day. The number of hours of sleep on an average night or a polysomnogram recording may be used to support the diagnosis but are not the primary criteria. A blood analysis would not be relevant to the diagnosis of insomnia.
