insomnia

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects millions of people. Put simply, people with insomnia can't fall asleep or stay asleep through the night. While it might seem like an annoyance or something that isn't worth talking to the doctor about, insomnia is actually a serious medical condition that shouldn't be ignored.

People with insomnia suffer from greater risk of other health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, obesity and depression. People who are tired are also more likely to be involved in accidents in the car and at work.

There are a range of treatment options available for people with insomnia, including lifestyle changes that can improve sleep habits, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and treatment with medications.
