How Do You Know If You Suffer From Insomnia?

Many of us experience the occasional night of sleeplessness or insomnia without any consequences. It is when the occasional night here and there becomes a pattern of several nights of insomnia in a row that you are faced with a sleeping problem.

Repeated sleeplessness and insomnia affects all areas of your life:

  • The physical

  • The mental

  • The emotional.

Sleeplessness can affect your overall daily performance and lack of sleep may even have an effect on your personality.

If your insomnia or sleeplessness continues for a long period of time it could cause problems

  • In your relationships

  • Compromise your productivity... because you are continually tired., listless, or restless and even stressed.

  • That lead to other health problems such as depression

Sleeplessness or lack of sleep can become a relentless cycle of worry and anxiety as night after night you toss and turn, wondering when sleep will come, wondering what is wrong with your sleeping pattern and why you are unable to sleep.

Types of Insomnia

Insomnia and sleeplessness generally fall into three categories:

1. "Initial" insomnia: where you have difficulty in falling asleep, generally taking 30 minutes or longer to fall into a sleep state.

2. "Middle" insomnia: where after falling asleep you have problems maintaining a sleep state, often remaining awake until the early morning hours.

3. "Late" or "Terminal" insomnia: where you awake early in the morning after less than 6 hours of sleep.

Insomnia can be the symptom of some medical conditions that may require your doctor's advice and medical care. In those cases the cause will be treated, not the sleeplessness.
