Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it difficult to fall asleep, make it difficult to fall asleep, or make you wake up too early and can’t go back to sleep. You may feel tired when you wake up. Insomnia can reduce not only your energy and emotions but also your health, performance, and quality of life.
Adequate sleep varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep a night. In some cases, most adults experience temporary (severe) insomnia, lasting days or weeks.
It is usually the result of stress or a traumatic event. But some people have long (permanent) sleep that lasts a month or more. Insomnia can be a serious problem, or it may be linked to other medical conditions or medications.
You do not have to endure sleepless nights. Simple changes in your daily routine can help.
