Screening for Insomnia

by EBSCO Medical Review Board

Screening is done to find a problem and treat it early. Tests are given to people who do not have symptoms but who may be at high risk.

Screening Guidelines

There are no standard tests or current guidelines for insomnia screening. The doctor should ask questions about sleep during check-ups.
