Endorsement of European guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia by the World Sleep Society. Sleep medicine Morin, C. M., Inoue, Y., Kushida, C., Poyares, D., Winkelman, J., Guidelines Committee Members, Governing Council of the World Sleep Society 2021; 81: 124–26

Abstract

The European guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia (1) was developed by a task force of the European Sleep Research Society, which was composed of 27 experts with clinical experience on insomnia management from different European countries and the European Insomnia Network. The guideline focused on insomnia disorder as defined by ICD-10/ICSD-3. Its starting point was the previously published guideline by the German Sleep Society, which was revised and expanded based on a review of relevant meta-analyses of insomnia therapies published through June 2016. The scope of this guideline was to provide recommendations on the treatment of chronic insomnia disorder. This guideline was selected for review by the World Sleep Society (WSS) Insomnia Task Force and the WSS International Sleep Medicine Guidelines Committee. A task force of content experts from the WSS has reviewed this guideline specifically for its relevance and applicability to the practice of sleep medicine by sleep specialists that comprise its membership.
