Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can make it difficult for you to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both. Insomnia can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). It usually lasts for days, weeks, or months at a time.

There are many possible causes of insomnia, including stress, anxiety, depression, medications, and medical conditions. Insomnia can also be caused by poor sleep habits or sleeping in an uncomfortable environment.

Insomnia can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. It can also impact your overall quality of life. If you're experiencing insomnia, there are treatments that can help you get the rest you need.

If you're struggling with insomnia, talk to your doctor. They can help you identify the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to promote better sleep:

  • Establish a regular sleep schedule.
  • Create a relaxing bedtime routine.
  • Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed.
  • Get up and move around during the day.
  • Limit screen time before bed.
