Types of Insomnia

Frozen shoulder generally progresses through three stages, each characterised by different symptoms and degrees of mobility:

Acute Insomnia

Also known as short-term insomnia, is usually triggered by stressful life events such as job loss, grief, or exams. It lasts a few days or weeks but typically resolves once the stressor is removed.

Chronic Insomnia

This long-term form of insomnia persists for at least three months, occurring at least three nights per week. Chronic insomnia can be a result of ongoing stress, medical conditions, or mental health issues.

Sleep-Onset Insomnia

This type is characterised by difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night. Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep habits are common causes.

Sleep-Maintenance Insomnia

Those with this type of insomnia struggle to stay asleep and may wake up multiple times during the night. It is often associated with chronic pain, depression, or sleep apnea.

Comorbid Insomnia

This occurs alongside other health conditions, such as chronic pain, asthma, or mental health disorders. Effective treatment requires addressing both the insomnia and the underlying condition.

At MHV Clinic, we personalise our approach to treating these types of insomnia through targeted therapies and lifestyle adjustments, ensuring that your unique needs are met.
