Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The main finding: irrespective of age, gender or screening setting, insomnia patients are most likely to underestimate how long they sleep. The study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most adults with healthy sleep patterns take anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes to fall asleep on a typical night. Some people fall asleep much more quickly. While falling asleep within minutes of lying down may sound desirable, it could be a sign of insufficient sleep or a medical condition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acute insomnia lasts from 1 night to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more.
