Historical Perspective
The science which deal with issues in human sleep cycle is called sleep medicine. The history of sleep medicine is divided in to five phases, according to the era of development in understanding of human sleep, the related issues and the treatments. The first clinic for sleep medicine was first founded in 1970 and was named Stanford University Sleep Disorders Clinic. Insomnia was classified as a separate entity since 1979/1980 (ASDC/DSM III-R)[5], although the first records of the word insomnia existed since 1600s[6]. In western culture the mention of insomnia date back in ancient Greeks and also found in the pre-Hippocratic Epidaurian list of 70 cases, one was a patient with insomnia. The first scientific explanation of insomnia was found in the work of Aristotle back in 350 BC and the first treatment records from a Greek Physician in the first century recommended opium as the treatment of choice for insomnia [7].
