What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a condition of unsatisfactory quantity and/or quality of sleep that persists for a considerable period, including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or early final waking. Treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, melatonin, and exercise. Maintaining good sleep hygiene and avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine can help alleviate symptoms. Addressing underlying stress or anxiety through relaxation techniques or counseling can improve sleep quality.
