Insomnia Disorder

What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that disrupts the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or achieve restful sleep. Even with adequate time and opportunity to sleep, individuals with insomnia experience dissatisfaction with their sleep quality or quantity. Insomnia often causes significant challenges, including fatigue, low energy, poor concentration, reduced productivity at work or school, and emotional issues like irritability or mood disturbances. Left untreated, insomnia can worsen existing mental health conditions (such as anxiety or depression) and physical health problems.

Types of Insomnia: Acute and Chronic

Acute Insomnia:

This short-term form of insomnia typically occurs during periods of heightened stress or significant life changes. Examples include difficulty sleeping the night before an important event or after receiving distressing news. Acute insomnia often resolves once the stressor is managed.

Chronic Insomnia:

Chronic insomnia is characterized by sleep disturbances that occur at least three times per week and persist for three months or longer. Chronic insomnia may result from various factors, including:

  • Poor sleep hygiene
  • Environmental disruptions (e.g., noise, temperature changes)
  • Irregular work schedules or shift work
  • Chronic stress or anxiety
  • Underlying medical or psychological conditions, such as chronic pain or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
