Understanding insomnia

Insomnia is a symptom of any of several sleep disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty of falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or both" and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.

Insomnia is very common in the United States with over 60 million adults being affected by it. Four patterns of insomnia have been identified by experts and they are:

• Onset insomnia - difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night, often associated with anxiety disorders.
• Middle-of-the-Night Insomnia - Insomnia characterized by difficulty returning to sleep after awakening in the middle of the night or waking too early in the morning. Also referred to as nocturnal awakenings. Encompasses middle and terminal insomnia.
  • Middle insomnia - waking during the middle of the night, difficulty maintaining sleep. Often associated with pain disorders or medical illness.
  • Terminal (or late) insomnia - early morning waking. Often a characteristic of clinical depression.

Other cases also link insomnia to daytime sleepiness, difficulty of concentration and irritability due to lack of sleep.

Types and causes of insomnia

Insomnia has also been split up into types depending on the factors and the duration of the problem. According to experts there are two main types of insomnia: Primary Insomnia and Secondary Insomnia.

Primary insomnia is usually linked to abnormalities in the sleep-wake timing system while Secondary insomnia is generally caused by mental disorders (like depression or anxiety), medical conditions (asthma, cancer) or the use of substances like caffeine, alcohol, prescription medicines of illegal drugs.

Depending on how long insomnia lasts, most experts agree that there is a short-term insomnia and a long-term insomnia. Long-term insomnia is supposed to last more than 1 month and it usually has more severe causes, while short-term insomnia can last for just a few days and it is generally caused by disturbances in your daily activity (such as jet lag, stress, hormonal fluctuations).

Long-term insomnia is usually caused by aging and the hormonal fluctuations that accompany this process but there also are some exterior factors. These range from medical conditions and various treatments that are required in order to deal with the problem to psychiatric illnesses that do not allow the person to achieve sleep as with normal individuals.

Treating Insomnia

It is important that you understand the importance of insomnia and that it is not a problem that should be ignored thinking it will pass.

Take the first step in the fight against insomnia by ordering Snooze, the revolutionary insomnia treatment that promises quick and safe results, free of any health risks. Take care of your sleep and get the required amount of rest so as to feel at your best the following morning and be efficient at your daily activities.

Snooze works by creating a balance between the chemicals that your body uses to keep awake and the ones that determine sleep. Usually when you need to sleep your body produces a substance called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Snooze sparks the production of GABA and reduces over-activity in specific brain areas that might prevent you from sleeping.

It is also important to check with your personal doctor if you are experiencing trouble breathing, loud snoring, restlessness in your legs, heartburn, nightmares, pain, frequent urination, depression or anxiety as they might be symptoms of sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome or another illness.
