Insomnia has way more in-depth information than it seems to be. Acute is known to be a short-term sleep disorder, whereas chronic is long-term insomnia. Acute insomnia lasts from a few nights to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. Having 8 hours of sleep daily is vital for leading a good life. Insomnia is mainly divided into 2 parts, which are primary insomnia and secondary insomnia. Insomnia affects women more than men, and older people more than younger ones.

Between 10% and 30% of adults have insomnia and up to half of people have insomnia in a given year. About 6% of people have insomnia that is not due to another problem and usually lasts for more than a month. People over the age of 65 are affected more often than younger people.

Causes of Insomnia

  • Stress-related to big life events or occasions
  • Many distractions in the household surroundings like loud noise, light causing glare and temperature fluctuations
  • Rapid change in sleeping patterns

  • Pain or discomfort
  • Caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol use, as well as use of illicit drugs
  • Other sleep disorders, like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome
  • PMS and menopause

 Sleeping during the daytime is known to be one of the most common insomnia problems, so it's better to plan a good timetable and execute it, leading to an active life . Insomnia can be hereditary, and sleeping pills do not cure insomnia. Insomnia can be fatal, and women are more likely to get it.
