demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep.
Insomnia can be grouped into primary and secondary, or comorbid
Primary insomnia: not attributable to a medical, psychiatric, or environmental cause
A diagnosis will usually differentiate between:
insomnia as secondary to another condition,
primary insomnia co-morbid with one or more conditions, or
free-standing primary insomnia
