Orthosomnia

Medical term for obsession with perfect sleep

Orthosomnia is a medical term for an unhealthy obsession with getting perfect sleep. The term was coined by researchers from Rush University Medical College and Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in a case study published on February 15, 2017 in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine titled "Orthosomnia: Are Some Patients Taking the Quantified Self Too Far?" in which the researchers noticed that the three patients having their sleep tracked spent excessive time in bed in order to increase their "sleep numbers", which might have actually made their Insomnia worse.
