Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, resulting in poor quality sleep.
It can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
Causes range from stress and anxiety to medical conditions and lifestyle factors.
Effective treatments include behavioral therapies, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, medications.
Addressing underlying issues is crucial for long-term relief and better sleep.
