It is estimated that 70% of heart diseases are generated during insomnia sleep disorder. The main objective of this study is to determine all work conducted on insomnia detection and to make a database. We used two procedures including network visualization techniques on two databases including PubMed and Web of Science to complete this study. We found 169 and 36 previous publications of insomnia detection in the PubMed and the Web of Science databases, respectively. We analyzed 10 datasets, 2 databases, 21 genes, and 23 publications with 30105 subjects of insomnia detection. This work has revealed the future way and gap so far directed on insomnia detection and has also tried to provide objectives for the future work to be proficient in a scientific and significant manner.

Why is it important?

Despite the success of insomnia work on the detection and genes, there remain sufficient gaps that necessitate to be comprehensive to reach the maturity stage as related with other sleep disorder research. This section helps to identify interconnected but possible areas of study that may build future prospects. This work offers numerous useful features to consider in the plan of study on insomnia detection. Some limitations of this study are, that we used two databases such as PubMed and WoS databases, because these databases are authentic than others. In a further study, we will use Scopus and other databases to find the exact closest terms for the research of insomnia detection.
