Answers & Comments
Answer in explanation:
1. Bong is suffering from 'physical dependence' and since the insomnia is now persisting it can be considered 'chronic insomnia'.
2. No, If someone believes they have insomnia they should tell a doctor to get a more accurate idea of what is happening, this is true from personal experience especially when insomnia starts because it can get much worse.
