Introdução

Insomnia is one of the sleep disorders that can be characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, and can be short-lived or chronic. According to the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, 72% of Brazilians suffer from this condition. This clinical condition can be triggered by environmental, psychosocial and physiological factors and can affect physical and mental health.

Objetivo

Métodos

A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out by collecting data from the Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), including year, region, gender and age group, by ICD (F510) Non-organic insomnia and ICD (G470) Sleep onset and maintenance disorders.

Resultados

From 2019 to 2023, 7,983 individuals were diagnosed with insomnia. The data shows an oscillating trend with 1,774 (22.22%) diagnosed in 2019, when it reached its highest percentage, 1,465 (18.35%) in 2020, 1,702 (21.32%) in 2021, 1,388 (17.38%) in 2022 and 1,654 (20.71%) in 2023. The national incidence in these 5 years was 3.93 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In the regional overview, the Southeast had the highest absolute number with 2,344 diagnoses, followed by the Northeast, South, North and Midwest, numbers that follow the pattern of population distribution. As for gender, 5,280 cases (66.14%) occurred in females and 2,703 (33.85%) in males. As for stage of life, the most affected were adults aged between 20 and 59, with 4,380 diagnosed, followed by the elderly.
