Unsound sleep can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose unsound sleep, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder | 91% | Confirm |
Vitamin D Need | 27% | Unlikely |
Chronic Fatigue-Fibromyalgia | 12% | Unlikely |
PMS D | 5% | Ruled out |
Stress | 3% | Ruled out |
Insomnia | 1% | Ruled out |
Hyperthyroidism | 0% | Ruled out |
Hypoglycemia | 0% | Ruled out |
Do you fall asleep only to wake up after a few hours and have trouble falling back to sleep?
