Insomnia is a disorder that can make it difficult to
fall asleep, difficult to stay asleep, or both. With
insomnia you may get too little sleep or have poor
quality sleep. You usually awaken feeling un-refreshed,
which takes a toll on your ability to function during
the day. Insomnia can sap your energy level and mood, as
well as your health, work performance and quality of
life.
Insomnia symptoms may include:
Difficulty falling asleep at night
Awakening during the night
Awakening too early
Not feeling well rested after a night's sleep
Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
Irritability, depression or anxiety
Difficulty paying attention or focusing on tasks
Increased errors or accidents
Ongoing worries about sleep
Someone with insomnia will often take 30 minutes or more
to fall asleep and may get only six or fewer hours of
sleep for three or more nights a week, for more than one
month.
If insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the
day, a professional consultation at PRI may help you to
better determine what might be the cause of your sleep
problem and how it can be treated!
