Results: The findings showed that in the insomnia diagnosis questionnaire, 5 factors with eigenvalues greater than one explain 62% of the variance of the total scores. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole insomnia diagnosis questionnaire was 0.88. In the insomnia disorder etiology questionnaire, 7 factors with eigenvalues greater than one explain 65% of the variance of the total scores, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire insomnia disorder etiology questionnaire was 0.94.
