Are sleepless nights and constant exhaustion affecting your quality of life? Have you struggled to fall asleep, stay asleep or just wake up too early? When this happens on an occasional basis it is nothing to be concerned about. However, when the number of sleepless nights begins to accumulate it is typically a sign of something serious such as insomnia.

What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep on a regular basis. People with insomnia often have trouble initiating or maintaining sleep, which can lead to a range of negative consequences, including daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and impaired overall functioning. It can be caused by a variety of factors including stress and anxiety, medical conditions, mental health disorders, certain medications, and lifestyle factors.
