What is insomnia?
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get good-quality rest — even when you have the chance to sleep. It can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic), lasting a month or more.
Poor sleep affects mood, concentration, energy, and physical health. The good news is that insomnia is treatable, often without medication, through proven techniques and better sleep habits.
