Insomnia is a disorder of initiation and maintenance of sleep that results in daytime somnolence. The differential diagnosis of the various forms of insomnia is based primarily on the history, including information from the sleeping partner. The possibility of underlying depression or sleep apnea must be given consideration in every patient with insomnia, because inappropriate therapy may be dangerous in these instances. In general, the benzodiazepines have supplanted the traditional hypnotics in the treatment of insomnia.
失眠是一种睡眠起始和维持障碍，会导致日间嗜睡。各种形式失眠的鉴别诊断主要基于病史，包括来自睡眠伴侣的信息。每位失眠患者都必须考虑潜在抑郁症或睡眠呼吸暂停的可能性，因为在这些情况下不恰当的治疗可能很危险。一般来说，苯二氮䓬类药物在失眠治疗中已取代了传统催眠药。
