INSOMNIA

Insomnia is a disruption of normal sleep related to physical and mental causes. According to a random survey of primary care patients, more than 50% reported having symptoms of insomnia, but only 1/3 of the patients reported insomnia symptoms to their doctor. Each case of insomnia is different and must be evaluated with care for correct treatment of each individual.
