There is usually no clear cause, or insomnia symptoms remain after excluding possible causes of insomnia. It mainly includes three types: psychophysiological insomnia, idiopathic insomnia and subjective insomnia. The diagnosis of primary insomnia lacks specific indicators and is mainly a diagnosis of exclusion. When the possible causes of insomnia have been ruled out or cured, but insomnia symptoms still remain, it can be considered primary insomnia. Clinically, it is found that the causes of psychophysiological insomnia can be traced back to the impact of a certain or long-term event on the functional stability of the patient's brain limbic system. The imbalance in the stability of the limbic system function eventually leads to the disorder of the brain's sleep function and the occurrence of insomnia.
