What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a medical disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep and/or stay asleep, waking up too early and feeling tired upon waking up. While there are different types and causes of insomnia, the causes of acute insomnia can include life stress (job, grief, divorce, moving, etc.), emotional imbalance, medications, night shift schedule at work, jet lag, environmental factors (noise, light) and illness. Typically, chronic insomnia can also make you susceptible to depression, anxiety, chronic stress, pain, and discomfort.
Insomnia increases irritability, tiredness, problems with concentration/memory and difficulty staying awake during the day. If you’ve already tried changing your sleep habits and you have talked to your doctor, behavioral strategies are proven effective in helping you get the zzz’s you need to feel your best.
