Insomnia Insomnia often includes two elements: poor sleep quality and not sleeping when you want to be sleeping. Many terms are used to describe "insomnia," such as "poor sleep," "unwanted sleeplessness," "troubled sleep," or "problematic sleep." In general these terms are interchangeable particularly so because individuals with sleep problems relate to one if not all of them.
A common complaint among insomnia patients, therefore, is not getting enough sleep, which technically appears to be a sleep quantity problem instead of a sleep quality problem.
This distinction is where our program differs from many others. In our experience and research, we find that sleep quality needs the most iniitial and long term attention when addressing the insomnia patient's concerns. These reason for our quality emphasis is simple; in greater than 90% of insomnia cases, a sleep quality problem drives most or all of the patient's sleep complaints.
