Summary
A variety of standardised and validated tools and measures can provide a wealth of information to further understand a patient’s complaints, to evaluate the impact of insomnia on their life, and to screen for other disorders. This chapter provides a detailed overview of measures that a clinician can incorporate into their assessment to confirm the presence of insomnia, aid in differential and/or comorbid diagnosis, and understand broader impacts of their sleep complaint. The chapter then proceeds to describe the value of the sleep diary in an initial assessment. Finally, it encourages the reader to consider outcomes that are measurable, clinically meaningful, and matter to the patient.
