INSOMNIA

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder in which people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. It may result in an increased risk of motor vehicle collisions, as well as problems focusing and learning. Insomnia can be short term, lasting for days or weeks, or long term, lasting more than a month.

 

Symptoms of Insomnia:

  • Difficulty falling asleep, including difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position
  • Waking during the night, being unable to return to sleep and waking up early
  • Not able to focus on daily tasks, difficulty in remembering
  • daytime sleepiness, irritability, depression or anxiety
  • Feeling tired or having low energy during the day
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Being irritable, acting aggressive or impulsive

Non-medication based strategies have comparable efficacy to hypnotic medication for insomnia and they may have longer lasting effects.
