Insomnia is the inability to get a good night's sleep at least long enough to feel rested the next morning. What follows is a sensation of daytime fatigue and being tired. The inability to think clearly and concentrate is impaired affecting performance of daytime activities. Generally, people that have insomnia can't fall asleep even though they are very tired. They may even achieve a light sleep that often leaves them fatigued and tired after waking up or they awake too early. There is continuing research being conducted on insomnia causes. There is an on going debate separating experts into two camps. The first group believes insomnia is a sympton of another psychological or physical disorder. The second group believes insomnia is a stand alone disorder of its own. Symptoms of insomnia commonly include the following: 1. Waking up way too early and inability to fall to sleep again 2. Dependence on sleeping aids like sleeping pills or alcohol to fall asleep 3. Being tired is a constant complaint during the day 4. Complaining of headaches often 5. You're easily irritated 6. Not able to focus or concentrate 7. Waking up and still feeling tired 8. Takes you more than 30 to 40 minutes to drift into sleep 9. Repeatedly waking up during the night Insomnia sufferers, also known as insomniacs frequently complain they're not able to close their eyes or quiet their minds for a consistent period of time. I know the feeling, what it means to have an active mind when it's time to go to bed. We live in a stress-filled world, and we are often afflicted with incomplete tasks and to-do lists that continue to race around in our minds at bedtime. Many people have real issues putting those to-do lists to the side when it's time for bed. Some artistic personalities swear they create their best ideas just before falling asleep while laying in bed. A famous philosopher once said, "If a man created as many great ideas in the daytime as he does suffering from insomnia, he'd be a millionnaire!" Although there is some truth in every anecdote, sleep issues can affect a person's health for the worse. The most menacing thing insomniacs face is their longing to go to sleep but for some reason just can't. Insomniacs are not able to quiet their minds sufficently to acquire the rest they need. The following day, insomniacs are fatigued and seemingly unable to function optimally. Author Info: Ash Derbe has suffered from insomnia for many years.
