Insomnia is a perceived disturbance in the quality or quantity of sleep, which, depending on the specific condition may be associated with disturbances in objectively measured sleep. Insomnia is a common subjective complaint of inadequate sleep that affects 15% to 40% of the general population, with 10% to 15% of individuals reporting chronic insomnia of 6 month's duration.
