10 Common Sleep Disorders
Common Sleep Disorder #2: Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that presents with difficulty to fall asleep and the inability to remain asleep once you fall asleep. This does not mean that you have insomnia because you get an occasional sleepless night. You have insomnia if you find it difficult to fall asleep or remain asleep for at least three days in a week for three months or longer.
Insomnia can be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, depression, excessive alcohol intake and some medications. Other causes of insomnia include going to bed at irregular times, traveling across time zones, getting up at night, sleep apnea and using electronic gadgets like smartphones and tablets in bed or just before going to bed.
