Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulties in falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and being unable to return to sleep. This condition can lead to inadequate sleep quality, leaving individuals feeling tired even after waking. Insomnia can significantly affect a person’s energy levels, mood, health, work performance, and overall quality of life.
Globally, as based on the Cleveland Clinic’s data, insomnia affects a substantial number of adults, with roughly one-third experiencing symptoms of the disorder. Among these individuals, around 10% are diagnosed with insomnia disorder, a more chronic and severe form that often requires medical attention. Moreover, the likelihood of developing insomnia, according to the Mayo Clinic, is higher in certain groups, including women, especially during periods of hormonal change such as menopause or pregnancy. Additionally, the risk increases with age, particularly for those over 60, due to natural changes in sleep patterns and overall health. Other contributing factors include mental and physical health conditions, high levels of stress, and irregular sleep schedules, which all make the disorder becoming more prevalent.
Symptoms of
Insomnia
Insomnia manifests through several symptoms that affect both your sleep and daytime functioning. The key symptoms fall into three main categories: difficulties with sleep, daytime effects, and characteristics of chronic insomnia.
✅Difficulty falling asleep (Initial insomnia)
✅Waking up during the night (Middle insomnia)
✅Waking up too early (Late insomnia)
✅Feeling tired or unwell
✅Delayed reactions
✅Memory problems
