Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleeping disorder where people face trouble falling asleep and also staying asleep for longer hours. People with insomnia tend to wake up in the middle of the night and face difficulty in going back to sleep and few people wake up too early in the morning even when they didn’t have enough sleep at night. As we all know sleep is very crucial for the proper functioning of our body and mind, around 6 – 8 hours of good sleep is highly recommended for everyone to rest our mind and also to energize our body. In insomnia, due to lack of sound night sleep, people confront daytime sleepiness and also feel tired.
Insomnia can be transient, acute and chronic. In transient insomnia, people face sleeplessness for short periods like a few days to a week and this may be caused due to general stress. Acute insomnia is a condition raised due to the occurrence of upsetting events and medications and in this, the sleeplessness may last or few weeks, whereas Chronic insomnia is a condition which is raised due to secondary insomnia i.e. due to health problems like depression, arthritis and so on.
