What is insomnia?
Insomnia is a problem with sleep. People with insomnia have trouble falling or staying asleep, or they do not feel rested when they wake up. Insomnia is not about the number of hours of sleep a person gets. Everyone needs a different amount of sleep.
What are the symptoms of insomnia?
People with insomnia often:
Have trouble falling or staying asleep
Feel tired or sleepy during the day
Forget things or have trouble thinking clearly
Get cranky, anxious, irritable, or depressed
Have less energy or interest in doing things
Make mistakes or get into accidents more often than normal
Worry about their lack of sleep
These symptoms can be so bad that they affect a person’s relationships or work life. Plus, they can happen even in people who seem to be sleeping enough hours.
