Insomnia
Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or waking too early, so that you feel tired during the day. It is very common, especially with stress, worry, pain or depression. Short periods of poor sleep usually improve with good sleep habits. Insomnia that lasts more than a few weeks should be checked, because it often has a cause that can be treated.
