精神科住院患者对失眠的投诉很多。文献中有许多关于失眠的技术研究，但很少有参考个人经验的。本研究考察了某精神病院精神病患者的主观失眠体验。从主诉失眠的患者群体中随机选择了7名受试者。主观体验是通过录音的半结构化访谈来检验的。使用伯纳德的内容分析框架对数据进行分析。研究确定了十个类别：控制、欲望、整体、评估、个人主义、信念、冲突、交流、顺从和睡眠信号。传记数据和临床记录中关于睡眠的数据也被收集起来。结果表明，失眠的影响不应被低估，对患者这方面经历的关注可能会对他们的心理健康和幸福感产生普遍影响。
Complaints of insomnia among psychiatric inpatients are high. Many technical studies about insomnia are available in the literature, but few make reference to individual experience. This study examines the subjective experience of insomnia for psychiatric patients in one mental health unit. A random purposive sample of seven subjects was selected from the population of patients complaining of insomnia. Subjective experience was examined using a tape-recorded semistructured interview. The data were analysed using Burnard's content analysis framework. Ten categories were identified: control, wants and desires, holistic, assessment, individualisms, beliefs, conflict, communication, resignation and sleep signatures. Biographical data, and data from clinical notes about sleep were also collected. Results show that the impact of insomnia should not be underestimated and that attention to this aspect of a patient's experience could have a general effect on their mental health and well-being.
