Insomnia
Insomnia comes from the Latin word, which means "no sleep" or the inability to sleep (in "no" and sinus "sleep"). It is the most well known type of sleep disorder that people experience.
It may be caused by stress, change in usual sleep pattern or an underlying medical condition. It can be short-term or long-term. A sleeping pill can be effective for short-term insomnia, but not for long-term insomnia. For many, insomnia happens once in a while. However for some, it can be a chronic problem. Symptoms of insomnia can include:
- awakening frequently during the night
- awakening very early in morning
- difficulty maintaining sleep
- difficulty to fall asleep even if you feel very tired
- lack of daytime energy even experiencing drowsiness and fatigue
- short temper
- trouble thinking clearly
- unable to stay focus
- waking up feeling unrefreshed, even after having eight hours sleep
Poor sleep for any length of time can lead to mood disturbances, lack of motivation, decreased attention span, trouble with concentration, low levels of energy and increased fatigue.
