What is insomnia?

When you find it difficult to fall asleep or you find yourself repeatedly waking up in the night you may have insomnia. Many find they are permanently tired, yet insomnia is usually only a temporary annoyance and does pass in time.

There are those though who suffer with this condition for months or years and this can have a devastating effect on their health and mental wellbeing.

Causes?

Many things can bring on a bout of insomnia but the most common causes are worry, stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Insomnia can be due to physical problems, not just emotional ones and there are also certain drugs such as antidepressants, beta-blockers, appetite suppressants and thyroid hormone replacements which can result in disturbed sleep patterns.

Those who are in physical pain, suffer with indigestion, or have breathing problems can all have bouts of insomnia. If you consume too much caffeine or are hypoglycaemic, you can suffer with this condition too.
