Four key criteria must be met for a diagnosis.
one the patient has trouble in initiating or maintaining sleep or wakes up too early two these sleep difficulties persist despite adequate opportunities and conditions for sleep three the patient suffers from daytime impairments due to sleep difficulties a fatigue and or malaise b or attention and or concentration.

In diagnosing insomnia, it's crucial to differentiate it from other common sleep complaints and disorders.
Short sleep duration Some healthy individuals can sleep less than the average seven to nine hours without experiencing daytime impairments or needing catch-up sleep.
This pattern is often lifelong and may have a familial tendency.
Chronic sleep insufficiency, also known as sleep restriction, arises from insufficient sleep opportunities, unlike insomnia which persists despite adequate sleep opportunities.
Both conditions may cause daytime impairments, but unlike insomniacs, those with chronic sleep insufficiency can sleep adequately given the opportunity.
Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder Common in adolescents, DSWPD is often confused with sleep onset insomnia.
Patients with DSWPD have a delayed circadian rhythm, causing difficulties in initiating sleep and waking up at conventional times.
However, they can sleep adequately on their preferred sleep schedules, unlike those with sleep onset insomnia.
Advanced Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder Common in older adults, ASWPD is often confused with insomnia associated with sleep maintenance difficulties or early awakening.
