INSOMNIA

Insomnia

A sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, despite having the opportunity to sleep. It can lead to daytime sleepiness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. There are several types of insomnia:

• Transient insomnia: Lasts for a few nights and is often caused by stress, changes in the environment, or disruptions in sleep schedule.
• Acute insomnia: Occurs for a few weeks and is usually linked to a stressful life event, such as the loss of a loved one or job-related stress.
• Chronic insomnia: Persists for months or years and is often linked to underlying medical or psychological conditions.

Insomnia can be treated with lifestyle changes, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication. It's essential to address underlying factors such as stress, anxiety, or medical conditions to effectively manage insomnia. If you're struggling with insomnia, it's a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional for guidance and support.
