What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that lessens the quantity and quality of your sleep. It makes it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep, leading to ongoing fatigue. About 1 in 3 adults worldwide struggle with insomnia symptoms, but you should know that insomnia treatment at Foveo Healthcare can dramatically improve your quality of life.

What are the symptoms of insomnia?

The symptoms of insomnia include:

• Difficulty falling asleep
• Problems staying asleep
• Waking up feeling tired
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Waking up too early
• Delayed reaction times
• Slowed thought processes
• Mood disruptions
• Irritability
• Memory issues

You might experience difficulty sleeping every now and then, but ongoing sleep disorders warrant treatment. This reduces your risk of accidents and health problems associated with sleep deprivation.

What can cause insomnia?

The cause of insomnia isn’t always clear, but its risk factors include:

• Family history of insomnia
• Brain chemistry issues
• Medical conditions
• Alcohol or caffeine use
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Depression
• Stress
• Past trauma
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Jet lag
• Irregular sleep schedule

To optimize sleep quality, have your room quiet, cool, and dark. Avoid alcohol and caffeine late in the day and don’t go to bed hungry or too full. Avoid exercise right before bed and get treated for any mental health conditions that contribute to sleep problems. 

When left untreated, insomnia can increase your risk of medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and heart problems.

To determine if you have insomnia and how to best treat it, the Foveo Healthcare specialists discuss your lifestyle habits, medications, symptoms, and medical history.
