Insomnia due to medical condition is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, which is directly attributable to an underlying medical condition. This condition can arise from various health issues, including chronic pain, respiratory disorders, neurological conditions, and psychiatric disorders. The insomnia experienced is often a secondary symptom, exacerbated by the primary medical condition. For instance, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience insomnia due to breathing difficulties at night, while those with chronic pain conditions may find it hard to sleep due to discomfort. The diagnosis of insomnia due to a medical condition requires a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, a review of their current medications, and an assessment of their sleep patterns. Treatment typically focuses on managing the underlying medical condition while employing behavioral strategies and, if necessary, pharmacological interventions to improve sleep quality.
