How is insomnia diagnosed?

Insomnia is a symptom and not a disease, so your doctor will focus on identifying the reason why you might be having difficulty sleeping. your doctor will usually want to perform a physical examination to look for related health conditions, and ask you about your sleeping habits. In some cases additional sleeping tests may be performed to look for any underlying sleep disorder that could be linked to the insomnia.
