Despite its significant impact on quality of life, mental health, and cardiometabolic disease, insomnia disorder remains underdiagnosed and inadequately managed. General Practitioners (GPs) play a pivotal role in addressing insomnia complaints but often face constraints, such as limited consultation time and a lack of specialised training. To provide practical recommendations for non\u2010sleep specialist physicians, a French Delphi consensus was conducted based on recent expert guidelines. A multidisciplinary Steering Committee formulated 21 clinical statements regarding the evaluation, severity assessment, management, and referral to sleep specialists of patients presenting with insomnia disorder. These statements were submitted to a panel of 37 GPs across France via two rounds of anonymous rating using a 9\u2010point Likert scale. While a consensus was reached for 95% of the statements, encompassing initial evaluation, sleep hygiene recommendations, behavioural interventions, and referral criteria, controversies emerged regarding the prescription of hypnotics, underscoring areas requiring further clarification and education. Our results highlight the importance of tailored approaches in primary care, emphasising pragmatic strategies rather than highly specialised protocols. This French Delphi consensus provides a structured yet flexible framework to support insomnia disorder management by non\u2010sleep specialist physicians, bridging the gap between guidelines and real\u2010world clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.70143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,18]],"date-time":"2025-07-18T03:14:27Z","timestamp":1752808467000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Management of Insomnia Complaints by Non\u2010Sleep Specialist Physicians: A French\n                    <scp>DELPHI<\/scp>\n                    Consensus"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9121-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierre\u2010Alexis","family":"Geoffroy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Addictology AP\u2010HP, GHU Paris Nord, DMU Neurosciences, Bichat \u2010 Claude Bernard Hospital  Paris France"},{"name":"ChronoS Center GHU Paris \u2013 Psychiatry &amp; Neurosciences  Paris France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, Inserm, NeuroDiderot  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Louis","family":"P\u00e9pin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grenoble Alpes University, HP2 Laboratory  Grenoble France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marjorie","family":"Guillet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Marjorie Guillet's Practice  France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Bastien","family":"Micoulaud\u2010Franchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arsac Health Center  Arsac France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0683-6506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yves","family":"Dauvilliers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Center for Narcolepsy and Rare Hypersomnias, Sleep and Wakefulness Disorders Unit Gui\u2010de\u2010Chauliac Hospital, Montpellier, Institute of Neurosciences of Montpellier (INM), Inserm, University of Montpellier  Montpellier France"},{"name":"INSERM, Institute of Neurosciences of Montpellier  Montpellier France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damien","family":"L\u00e9ger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AP\u2010HP, H\u00f4tel\u2010Dieu Centre du Sommeil et de la Vigilance  France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, VIFASOM (Vigilance, Fatigue, Sleep, and Public Health), UMR  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvie","family":"Royant\u2010Parola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"R\u00e9seau Morph\u00e9e  Garches France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2011.01.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bdi.13429"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","unstructured":"Caisse Nationale De l'Assurance Maladie (CNAM).2024.\u201cGuide M\u00e9thodologique\u2010ROSP 2024\u2010M\u00e9decin Traitant De L'adulte.\u201d"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00207454.2021.1995383"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13696998.2024.2407631"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.respe.2011.05.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/22.8.1128"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2023.115584"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurol.2023.08.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2013.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/26.2.177"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.683943"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41380-020-0735-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.encep.2022.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","unstructured":"HAS Haute Autorit\u00e9 de Sant\u00e9.2010.\u201cs.
