10 Causes of Insomnia
Cause #8: Anxiety
Irrespective of its cause, anxiety can cause insomnia. Anxiety is a condition that causes a person to worry excessively about something. Such worrying may be related to something temporary such as a forthcoming examination, or a long running issue like family problems. In the case of a temporary issue, the anxiety and any sleep disturbance may fade away once the issue has passed.
However, in the case of long running issues, the anxiety may become chronic. If an individual keeps thinking and worrying about the problem well into night time, chronic sleep disturbances including insomnia may set in. To deal with insomnia caused by chronic anxiety, it may be necessary to consult a psychologist.
