Insomnia

Sleep is an essential element of good health, yet so many people—children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly alike—struggle with the unpleasant experience of insomnia.

What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder. It appears as a struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to return to sleep.

Insomnia can be classified as acute, occurring over a short period in response to stress or traumatic events, or chronic, lasting for a month or more and usually coexisting with other health or lifestyle issues.

Knowing the different aspects of insomnia is helpful in treating it appropriately and returning to a balance of restful nights.

How Insomnia Can Affect A Person

Here are some ways how:

Insomnia can affect memory, concentration, problem-solving skills, and decision-making capabilities, which causes poor performance in work or academic environments.
Lack of sleep can be related to mood disorders which involve irritability, stress, anxiety, and also a possibility of depression.
Untreated and long-term insomnia can cause some long-term health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and weakened immune function.
Insomnia drains a person's energy levels and motivation. It also makes one’s everyday tasks and activities feel more demanding and dreary than enjoyable.
The irritability and mood changes affect relationships with family and friends which in turn affects communication, interactions, and happiness.
