Primary Insomnia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Primary insomnia is the persistent difficulty falling or staying asleep, or getting restful sleep, without another disease or substance that directly explains it.
Frequent symptoms: It may include taking a long time to fall asleep, nighttime awakenings, waking very early and, during the day, fatigue, irritability, or concentration problems.
Contributing factors: Stress, irregular sleep habits, screen use, and stimulant consumption usually contribute to maintaining it.
Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist, the internist, the pulmonologist (when there is a suspicion of respiratory sleep problems), and the general practitioner can guide its study. If poor sleep becomes constant and affects your day, discussing it with one of these professionals is a good starting point.
