10 Causes of Insomnia
Cause #3: Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the airways are blocked during sleep. This leads to wakefulness as the mind subconsciously rouses you to wake up to breathe. Because sleep apnea is normally a chronic problem, the subconscious mind may cause you to remain awake for a long time when you want to sleep.
Sleep apnea can cause a feeling of sleepiness during the day. This may happen because you had sleep disturbances throughout the night such that you didn’t get adequate restful sleep. This may happen even if you are not aware of it. Sleep apnea can cause chronic insomnia. For this reason, you should consult a sleep doctor or ask your doctor for assistance.
