Abstract

Insomnia can be defined as the subjective feeling of discomfort regarding the duration and / or quality of sleep and affects approximately 40% of the population according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The objective was to develop a practical guide with guidelines for action to be followed by patients suffering from insomnia. For this, the search and review of the necessary bibliography obtained through primary and secondary sources was carried out, whose information was analyzed, evaluated and used critically, then proceeded to the design of the practical guide.
