Understanding Signs and Symptoms of Insomnia

Understanding Signs and Symptoms of Insomnia
by Ricardo Lumbardo

all of us at some point experience a restless night due to stress. Chronic insomnia
lasts for more than a month and it can cause a lot of discomfort. Chronic insomnia
can be caused due to high stress levels, emotional problems, and heavy medications
or due to any other illness.

Most of us ignore insomnia as a minor disorder; we do not usually give it much
thought even when we end up spending sleepless nights for a long time. We must
understand that insomnia, especially chronic insomnia must be treated because
without treatment it might cause a lot of other health problems and would make us
unable to concentrate on our work in the day time since we would always be feeling
tired and sleepy.

Treatment of insomnia begins with first getting to know the symptoms of insomnia.
The symptoms of insomnia are as listed below:

Having problems falling asleep. If you spend an hour or more on your bed every
night trying to fall asleep it might be insomnia.

Waking up frequently in the middle of the night and having problems falling back
asleep is also a symptom of insomnia.

Waking up earlier than you should be in the morning.

If you feel tired when you wake up in the morning rather than feeling relaxed
you might be having insomnia.

If you are having trouble to get your work done in the day time due to fatigue,
if you feel irritable and tired without doing much then these are all signs of
insomnia.

What matters is the quality of sleep that you get during the night. Some people
manage to sleep for fewer hours but they still get enough sleep to refresh them
because they get deep sleep. People with insomnia do not get quality sleep and that
is what makes them grouchy and tired when they wake up. If you have been able to
sleep for fewer hours than usual but you still get up feeling refreshed then you do not
have insomnia.

Insomnia needs to be treated since it might lead to some serious problems like
depression, anxiety, accidents or injuries in the day time due to fatigue. If you
experience one or all of the symptoms mentioned above you must consult your
doctor at the earliest.
