Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the severity and duration of insomnia and its impact on cognitive failures, perceived stress, and everyday memory interruptions among patients. STUDY DESIGNS: A Correlational Research Design. PLACE AND DURATION: Five months from 1st January 2016 and 30th May 2016 at Lahore Fountain House, Jinnah Hospital and DHQ Hospital Sahiwal. METHODOLOGY: Diagnosed insomnia participants were assessed on insomnia severity, cognitive failure, perceived stress and every day memory. Self-reported measures such as Insomnia Severity Index, Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale and Everyday Memory Questionnaire –Revised were used respectively. RESULTS: Three hundred participants both men (47%) and women (53%) age ranges between 26 to 65 years were recruited. Results showed that severity of insomnia significantly predicted cognitive failures, perceived stress and everyday memory interruptions with variance of 24%, 20 % and 23% respectively. Furthermore, duration of insomnia made significant difference in cognitive failures, insomnia severity, perceived stress and everyday memory interruptions (p=.000). CONCLUSION: Both insomnia severity and duration badly impact cognitive failures, perceived stress and everyday memory interruptions in individuals with insomnia.
