Insomnia means having trouble with the quality or
quantity of sleep and, it can be caused by difficulties in either
falling asleep or staying asleep. The concept of 'a good sleep'
differs widely from person to person.
While the average night's sleep for an adult is
around seven or eight hours, some people only need four, while
others like up to 10 hours or more. What seems like insomnia to
one person might be considered a good sleep by another. Self-reported
sleeping problems, dissatisfaction with sleep quality and daytime
tiredness are the only defining characteristics of insomnia because
it is such an individual experience.
Insomnia almost always affects job performance and
well-being the next day. If not treated, frequent insomnia over
an extended periods of time, can lead to even more serious sleep
deficits. Insomnia tends to increase with age and affects about
40 percent of women and 30 percent of men. It is often the major
disabling symptom of an underlying medical disorder.
