Sleep disorders are frequent and multifaceted and are associated with serious consequences. People suffering from sleep disorders (25- of the population) know from their own experience that sleep disorders are extremely burdensome. In spite of the evident impairment caused by sleep disorders they are mostly simply considered as a nocturnal problem and not as a complex -4-h disorder- This situation was changed with the 5th Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published in May 2013 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Third Edition of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-3) by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). In both diagnostic manuals, the consequences of sleep disorders, especially insomnias, are listed as diagnostic criteria for sleep disorders and have, thus, found official recognition.
