Insomnia is the inability to get the amount of sleep you need to wake up feeling rested and refreshed. Because different people need different amounts of sleep, insomnia is dened by the quality of your sleep and how you feel after sleeping—not the number of hours you sleep or how quickly you doze off. Even if you’re spending eight hours a night in bed, if you feel drowsy and fatigued during the day, you may be experiencing insomnia.

Although insomnia is the most common sleep complaint, it is not a single sleep disorder. It’s more accurate to think of insomnia as a symptom of another problem, which differs from person to person. It could be something as simple as drinking too much caffeine during the day or a more complex issue like an underlying medical condition or feeling overloaded with responsibilities.

Common mental and physical causes of insomnia :

Sometimes, insomnia only lasts a few days and goes away on its own, especially when the insomnia is tied to an obvious temporary cause, such as stress over an upcoming presentation, a painful breakup, or jet lag. Other times, insomnia is stubbornly persistent. Chronic insomnia is usually tied to an underlying mental or physical issue.

Psychological problems that can cause insomnia: depression, anxiety, chronic stress, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder.

Medications that can cause insomnia: antidepressants; cold and u medications that contain alcohol; pain relievers that contain caffeine (Midol, Excedrin); diuretics, corticosteroids, thyroid hormone, high blood pressure medications.

Medical problems that can cause insomnia: asthma, allergies, Parkinson’s disease, hyperthyroidism, acid reux, kidney disease, cancer, chronic pain.

Sleep disorders that can cause insomnia: sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome.

Few Tips to Combat Issues like Insomnia or just regular old trouble Sleeping Issues

1. Fresh Air. Our lives are more dependent on a regular and adequate supply of air than on anything else. You can go days or even weeks without things like water and food, but run out of air and you’re gone in minutes. In order to maintain a healthy body that can sleep restfully, you need to be getting plenty of fresh air.

2. Regular Exercise. Not only will this increase your capacity for taking in good air, but the hormones released through exercising can aid in a more restful sleep. Plus if your body is exercising regularly, you will feel and function better allowing the body to go to sleep more easily.

3. Make sure the room you are sleeping in is dark. Light disturbance can affect your sleep patterns.

4. Unless you’re one of those people that needs a noise maker to sleep, eliminating noise can be extremely helpful when trying to get to sleep.

5. Do some deep-breathing / relaxation exercises before bed. Playing some soothing music while doing this can also help.

6. Take a warm bath immediately before you hit the pillow. If you make it too hot it can actually have a stimulating effect, so try not to make it too hot.
