Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to fall back asleep. It is one of the most common sleep complaints, affecting up to a third of adults at some point. Short-term insomnia is often triggered by stress or changes in routine and usually improves on its own.
There are several possible reasons you may be experiencing Insomnia. Here are the most common ones.
See a healthcare provider if insomnia lasts more than three months, significantly affects your daytime functioning, mood, or work performance, or if you rely on sleep aids to fall asleep regularly. Insomnia accompanied by loud snoring, gasping, or excessive daytime sleepiness may point to a sleep disorder.
