What is Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep. It can result in poor sleep quality and affect daily functioning, leading to issues like fatigue, low energy, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Insomnia can be short-term (acute), lasting a few days or weeks, often due to stress or life changes, or long-term (chronic), lasting a month or more.
