Insomnia is a major challenge to human health at present. A clear diagnosis of insomnia is very important for health assessment. The World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry Working Group on Sleep Disorders has reached consensus on the value of physiological measurement tools and biomarkers in the diagnosis of insomnia. Based on this consensus, this paper interprets it in order to provide relevant help for clinical practice and scientific research.
