Unsound Sleep

What Causes Unsound Sleep?

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.

Diagnose your symptoms now!
  • understand what's happening to your body
  • see your health summarized and in detail
  • learn what you should be doing right now

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:

  • Research the topic
  • Find a doctor with the time
  • Use a diagnostic computer system.
The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "unsound sleep" as a symptom.  Here are eight of many possibilities (more below):
  • Chronic Fatigue-Fibromyalgia
  • Insomnia
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Vitamin D Need
  • Stress
  • PMS D
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
brittle fingernails
strong-smelling urine
slight afternoon/evening fatigue
breast soreness during cycle
regular postprandial somnolence
vision disturbances
bulging eyes
poor concentration during cycle
being able to stay up late
rapid pulse rate
inner trembling
gradual decline in speaking ability
... and more than 150 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of unsound sleep:
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
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
