Insomnia is the inability to stay asleep for a sufficient duration to feel fully rested. Consequently you are overcome by a feeling of fatigue and sluggishness during the day. Impaired mental clarity causes weakened performance caused by insufficient sleep.
Overall, folks putting up with insomnia are unable to sleep despite feeling tired. Though they attain a light sleep, it frequently results in feeling tired in the morning or waking up way too early.
There is continuing research being conducted on insomnia causes. There is an on going debate separating experts into two camps. The first group believes insomnia is a sympton of another psychological or physical disorder. The second group believes insomnia is a stand alone disorder of its own.
Insomnia symptoms typically consist of the following:
1. Waking from sleep too early and the inability to fall back to sleep
2. Dependence on sleeping aids like sleeping pills or alcohol to fall asleep
3. Feelings of fatigue and being tired during waking hours
4. Complaining of headaches often
5. Having a short fuse or being easily irritated
6. Not able to focus or concentrate
7. Waking up tired and not energized
8. Takes you more than 30 to 40 minutes to drift into sleep
9. Waking up at night repeatedly
People that have insomnia are called insomniacs. Insomniacs are often not able to close their eyes and make their minds still for any length of time. This author knows the feeling all too well, going to bed with a mind that continues to be very active.
We coexist in a world brimming with stress and we are frequently plagued with partially completed to-do lists that drive our active minds at bedtime. Some of us have trouble placing those partial to-do lists to the side when it's bedtime.
Creative personalities claim they come up with some of their best ideas at night while laying in bed just before falling asleep. An assute researcher remarked, "If a person conjured up as many ideas during the day as he or she does as an insomniac, they'd be rich!" Truthfully, although there may be some semblance of truth in this statement, chronic insomnia can take a toll on a person's health.
The most menacing thing insomniacs face is their longing to go to sleep but for some reason just can't. Insomniacs are not able to quiet their minds sufficently to acquire the rest they need. The following day, insomniacs are fatigued and seemingly unable to function optimally. - 29964
