INSOMNIA- Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and nonorganic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder. Insomnia can be caused by:
Psychological problems like fear, stress, anxiety, emotional or mental tension, work problems, financial stress, unsatisfactory sex life (what sex life?)
Mental Disorders such as clinical depression, bipolar disorder, general anxiety disorder, sleep disorders
Disturbances of the circadian rhythm such as shift work and jet lag.
Certain neurological disorders, brain lesions, or a history of Traumatic brain injury
Medical conditions such as Hyperthyroidism
Insomnia also sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it. Insomnia can be common after the loss of a loved one.
