Today we looked at explanations for insomnia. We discussed whether it is helpful or not to use the primary/secondary insomnia distinction - Ohayon & Roth's study suggests that it might be best to always treat the insomnia first, whether or not it is a symptom of something else. We discussed precipitating/perpetuating/predisposing factors, and also the diathesis-stress model - more of this tomorrow.
Today's powerpoint is here.
Tomorrow we have our timed essay on the restoration theory, and also the last bit of the sleep topic.
