About Insomnia
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting nearly one in three adults. It can involve difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to return to sleep. Over time, poor sleep can impact your energy, mood, focus, and overall health — and may worsen existing medical or mental health conditions.
Signs and Symptoms of Insomnia
Insomnia disrupts your normal sleep pattern. Common symptoms include:
- Taking a long time to fall asleep
- Waking up frequently during the night
- Sleeping only a few hours at a time
- Waking up earlier than intended
- Feeling unrefreshed or exhausted upon waking
Common Causes of Insomnia
Insomnia often develops from a combination of physical, mental, and lifestyle factors. Common triggers include:
- Stress: Work pressure, financial concerns, or relationship issues
- Travel: Changes in time zones disrupting your internal clock
- Work schedules: Night shifts or irregular hours
- Poor sleep habits: Screen use before bed, light exposure, or uncomfortable sleep environments
- Eating close to bedtime: Late meals causing indigestion or heartburn
- Mental health conditions: Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress
- Medications: Some antidepressants, pain medications, and stimulants
- Medical conditions: Chronic pain, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, GERD, thyroid disorders, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s disease
- Other sleep disorders: Sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome
- Caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol: Stimulants and alcohol can interfere with deep sleep cycles
Types of Insomnia
There are two main types of insomnia:
Acute (Short-Term) Insomnia
This form lasts days or weeks and is often triggered by stress, travel, or a disruptive life event.
Chronic (Long-Term) Insomnia
Chronic insomnia lasts one month or longer and is often linked to an underlying condition, medication, or ongoing lifestyle factor. In some cases, chronic insomnia occurs without a clearly identifiable cause.

What are treatment options for insomnia?
Prescription treatments may include:

How does treatment differ for short-term vs. chronic insomnia?
Short-term insomnia often resolves once the underlying trigger is removed. Temporary use of OTC sleep aids or supplements like melatonin may help.
