Three hundred and fifty-two (37.0%) patients with a mean age of 45.8 ± 16.7 years positively responded to a screening question for insomnia and/or hypersomnia. Results: 952 patients (290 men: 30.5%) with a mean age of 44.8 ± 17.4 years completed a WISE. The distribution of four insomnia severity grades was determined, also stratified by age and gender. Prevalence data for insomnia stratified by gender and 10 age groups (decades) were calculated. Material and methods: Anonymized data were available from 952 patients who consulted the Orofacial Pain Unit at the Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland between January 2017 and December 2018. Here we extracted data from the insomnia severity index which was part of the web-based interdisciplinary symptom evaluation (WISE) tool given to a large sample of patients seeking care at an orofacial pain unit for analyzing insomnia prevalence in this clinical population. Insomnia is a common symptom or sleep disorder, yet data on its prevalence is sparse. Sleep strengthens physiological and psychological resilience and is an absolute requirement for health. Introduction: Orofacial pain and dysfunction include a broad range of disturbances among which pain and insomnia are some of the most common complaints. 3Laboratório Experimental de Dor, Faculdade de Medicina e Odontologia, São Leopoldo Mandic, São Paulo, Brazil.2Interdisciplinary Orofacial Pain Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.1Sleep Unit, Cardiovascular Center, School of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal.Miguel Meira e Cruz 1 * Nenad Lukic 2 Aleksandra Wojczynska 2 Beat Steiger 2 Antonio Sérgio Guimarães 3 Dominik A.
