The 4 most common tests for Insomnia

If you are going to beat Insomnia you are going to require a diagnosis

Let’s face it if you are going to beat sleep deprivation you are going to require a diagnosis that leaves you in no doubt whatsoever about the sleep disorder you are dealing with. You could seek out a health professional such as a doctor or councellor (getting professional help is indeed an important first step) but even when seeking out professional medical advice there is plenty of debate concerning the most effective way to test for causes of insomnia.

At the present moment in time there are four popular methods to diagnose chronic Insomnia.

Medical Checkup

By getting a medical examination your doctor can investigate possible causes for your Insomnia such as physical discomfort caused by injury or arthritis or physical and indeed mental exhaustion. A medical examination will also provide your doctor with enough information to indentify a drug related issue, alcohol abuse or other possible causes. This will then allow your doctor to discuss best treatment methods.

Question and Answer Session

When the first methods fails to shed any light on your sleeping disorder a simple questionnaire can sometimes be used. This can often provide an insight into your current condition, questions range from:

Are you currently experiencing stress?
How would you describe your current sleeping patterns?
Do you share a bed with a partner?
Do you have a history of sleeping disorders?
Has there been any other health related issues effecting you recently?
Has there been a recent change in your life?

Diary of sleep patterns

If the first two methods don’t shed any light in getting you back to being able to fall asleep fast a simple diary might also be of assistance. this diary is used to record your cleeping habits and will allow your doctor a clearer understanding of your sleep disorder. The diary should provide information such as:

When you went to bed
Hours slept
Rating of how well you slept
Other factors such as alcohol intake or outside influences that could have an impact on sleep.

Sleep Center Study

If your disorder is becoming a major problem your doctor may recommend you check in to a sleep clinic where you will be given a PSG (Polysomnogram) This procedure will record eye movement, brain activity, blood pressure and levels of oxygen to allow your doctor a detailed analysis of exactly what changes your body experiences when attempting sleep. This can then allow your doctor to gather valuable information to assist with identifying the root cause of your Insomnia.
