Understanding Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and being unable to go back to sleep. It can lead to daytime impairment, including fatigue, mood disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Insomnia can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, medical conditions, or lifestyle habits.

Key Symptoms:

• Difficulty Falling Asleep: Trouble initiating sleep despite feeling tired.
• Frequent Awakenings: Waking up multiple times during the night and struggling to return to sleep.
• Early Morning Awakenings: Waking up too early and being unable to go back to sleep, resulting in insufficient rest.
