Insomnia is the inability to get a good night's sleep at least long enough to feel rested the next morning. What follows is a sensation of daytime fatigue and being tired. The inability to think clearly and concentrate is impaired affecting performance of daytime activities.
Typically, people suffering from insomnia experience an inability to fall asleep in spite of being tired. They may achieve a light sleep that leaves them tired after waking or waking too early.
Insomnia causes are being researched and there is a debate on whether insomnia is a symptom of another psychological or physical condition or whether it's a primary disorder all on its own.
Insomnia symptoms typically consist of the following:
1. Waking up way too early and inability to fall to sleep again
2. Relying on artificial aids like sleeping pills or alcohol to sleep
3. Daytime fatigue or feeling tired during the day
4. Complaining of headaches often
5. You're easily irritated
6. Short attention span, not able to concentrate
7. Waking up and still feeling tired
8. Takes you more than 30 to 40 minutes to drift into sleep
9. Waking up at night repeatedly
People suffering from insomnia are referred to as insomniacs. Insomniacs frequently complain of their inability to shut their eyes or keep their minds still for a sustained period of time. This author is familiar with having your mind continue to race at bedtime.
Our world is filled with stress and we often have unfinished responsibilities or to-do lists left that actively drive our minds when it's time to go to bed. Some people are not able to effectively leave those unfinished tasks aside then when it's time to go to sleep.
Some artistic personalities swear they create their best ideas just before falling asleep while laying in bed. A famous philosopher once said, "If a man created as many great ideas in the daytime as he does suffering from insomnia, he'd be a millionnaire!" Although there is some truth in every anecdote, sleep issues can affect a person's health for the worse.
The dastardly thing about insomnia is your yearning to fall asleep but you're not able to do it. Your brain stays active and you're unable to quiet it down long enough to achieve the peaceful rest you need. Consequently, the next day you're so tired and unable to properly function. - 29964
