 AccessMedicine - Harrison's Internal Medicine: Primary Insomnia
Primary insomnia is thus a diagnosis of exclusion, often without a clear underlying single cause.
Subsyndromal psychiatric disorders (e.g., anxiety and mood complaints), negative conditioning to the sleep environment (psychophysiologic insomnia, see below), amplification of the time spent awake (sleep-state misperception), physiologic hyperarousal, and poor sleep hygiene (see above) may all be present.
As these processes may be both causes and consequences of chronic insomnia, many individuals will have a progressive course to their symptoms in which the severity is proportional to the chronicity, and much of the complaint may persist even after effective treatment of the initial inciting etiology.
