Wikipedia: Insomnia

Encyclopedia overview of insomnia definitions, comorbidity patterns (pain, mood, apnea overlap), and treatment vocabulary—useful clinical-orientation layer next to CBT-I meta-analyses, not a source for pooled effect sizes.

Scope

Summarises symptom criteria, short vs chronic insomnia framing, comorbid conditions that mimic or worsen insomnia, and broad nonpharmacologic / pharmacologic treatment threads as typically edited on Wikipedia.

Evidence discipline

CBT-I diary minutes, PSQI/ISI points, and performance RCTs belong to PubMed-linked rows on sleep-optimization (e.g., trauer-2015-cbti-chronic-insomnia-systematic-review-annals) and related protocols—use this article to name disorders and differential themes, not to cite changing encyclopedia statistics.
