Insomnia
Are you having trouble sleeping? Is it impacting your ability to function during the day? Unfortunately, difficulty with sleeping can become a regular problem for many of us. This might include having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting restful sleep more nights than not. When this issue becomes chronic, it is referred to as Insomnia.
Having trouble sleeping is a common issue that many of us experience from time to time. You are not alone. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, up to 35% of adults express complaints of insomnia. Insomnia is most common in groups such as older adults, individuals experiencing a great amount of daily stress, and those suffering from certain medical and mental health problems such as COPD, chronic pain, substance use, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and PTSD. Nighttime symptoms of insomnia include difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep throughout the night and into the morning, and/or experiencing episodes of nonrestorative sleep.
