What is Sleeplessness?

Insomnia or sleeplessness is a sleep disorder where there is an inability to get adequate or restful sleep. People with insomnia face difficulties like falling asleep, waking up frequently at night, waking up early in the morning, and waking up unrefreshed.

It often happens that the sleep pattern gets reversed — the person finds it difficult to stay awake during the daytime and takes numerous naps. Sleeplessness has serious implications on mood, alertness, memory, behavior, and physical health, and is also considered one of the major symptoms of depression.

Sleeplessness can be of three types: Transient insomnia (lasting less than one week, caused by change in sleeping environment, stress, or depression), Acute insomnia (inability to sleep well for approximately one month), and Chronic insomnia (lasting more than one month). This problem is more prevalent among women.
