Insomnia
The inability to fall asleep or stay asleep is referred to as insomnia. Jet lag, stress, anxiety, hormones, or digestive issues are some of the possible causes. It might also be a sign of another ailment.
Insomnia points to multiple symptoms such as
• Difficulty in falling asleep
• Having a restless sleep cycle throughout the night
• Feeling unrested even after sleeping
• Waking up too early in the morning
• Suffering from fatigue, restlessness, sleepiness, inability to conduct work efficiently, drive, and more.
It can lead to more complex situations like depression, weight gain, inability to function, can affect work or school life, and irritability.
According to a report published by Neurology India, about 9% of the Indian population suffers from insomnia, while about 30% suffer from occasional insomnia. This also brings up the existence of two types of insomnia- short-term (acute or adjustment insomnia) and long-term (chronic insomnia).
Acute or short-term insomnia is caused by a sudden, temporary change in life, like job pressure, the death of a loved one, a shift to a new place, or environmental issues like excessive noise, light, etc. This type can last from a night to a few weeks.
However, it is long-term or chronic insomnia if it continues for at least three times a week, a month, or longer. This can result from underlying issues like depression, discomfort, pain, or chronic illness. Another common aspect that keeps people up at night is the conditioned emotional response, where the thought of not falling asleep keeps you awake.
