Sleepless hours: the lived experience of chronic insomnia and anxiety across the US care spectrum
Overview
This mixed-methods study explores the lived experience of chronic insomnia with and without comorbid Generalized Anxiety Disorder among patients, family members, and healthcare professionals in the US. It highlights systemic barriers such as diagnostic delays, fragmented care, and an overreliance on pharmacological treatments rather than cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. The resource is suitable for readers interested in patient journeys, clinical challenges, and healthcare system dynamics related to sleep disorders.
