Abstract		Insomnia is a common symptom encountered by family physicians. These patients most often experience one of the following problems: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep and waking up too early. Insomnia may be viewed as a symptom, developed secondary to an underlying medical or environmental factor. In this case; it is essential to identify and treat the underlying cause of insomnia. Sleeplessnesswan be alsoprimary insomnia (syzrdrome). In this case, pharmacological as well as non-pharmacologcal treatment should be used. Since our knowledge about sleep and sleep disorders is insufficient (the REM phase of sleep has only been known for the past 40 years), one can anticipate changes and additional recommendations about sleep and sleep disorders in the future.
Summary		Bolniki, ki obiskujejo ambulante splošne/družinske medicine, imAjo pogosto težave z nespečnostjo. Največkrat navajajo eno izmed naslednjih motenj: težaye z začetkom spanja, pogosta prebujanja med samim spanjem in zgodnja budnost. Včasih jelahko nespečnost le simptom osnovne bolezni ali posledica dejavnikov, ki so prisotni v okolju. V takšnih primeržh moramo najprej opredeliti in zdraviti osnovno bolezen oziroma odstraniti moteč dejavnik v okolju: Nespečnost je lahko tudi primarna neorganska motnja spanja, ki zahteva farmakološko ali nefarmakološko zdravljenje. Ker je znanje o spanju in njegovih motnjah še vedno pičlo in nezadostno (od odkritja spanja REM je minilo komaj 40 let), lahko na tem področju pričakujemo precej dopolnitev in sprememb.
