Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep, despite having the opportunity to sleep. It can lead to significant daytime impairment, including fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and mood disturbances. Insomnia can be acute or chronic and may occur intermittently or persistently over time. Individuals with insomnia may have trouble initiating sleep, often lying awake in bed for an extended period before falling asleep.
