Types of Insomnia

Insomnia can be differentiated into the following types -

Acute insomnia is short-term insomnia that can last from a few days to a few weeks. It's the most common type of insomnia. Acute insomnia is also referred to as adjustment insomnia because it typically occurs when you experience a stressful event, such as the death of a loved one or starting a new job.

However, acute insomnia can still affect other areas of your life, and it's important to know how to treat your sleep troubles and get through it.

• Cognitive Abilities (Thinking or talking more slowly)

This type results from negative associations with sleep, such as learning to go to sleep by being rocked or nursed. They may also include having a parent present or watching TV while falling asleep.

• Behavioural Insomnia of Childhood Limit-setting.

This type of BIC involves a child’s refusal to go to bed and repeated attempts to put off going to sleep. Examples of this behaviour are asking for a drink, to go to the bathroom, or for a parent to read them another story.

• Behavioural Insomnia of Childhood Combined type.

This form is a combination of the other two subtypes of BIC. This occurs when a child has a negative association with sleep and resists going to bed because of a lack of limit-setting by a parent or caretaker.
