Are You Tired Of Having Insomnia

You will probably notice that you are having some sort of trouble getting to sleep at night, when the presenters on the late night chat shows begin to look more familiar to you than some of the members of your family. Or even worse still, when you are chatting to the night guy at your local night shop and you are on a first name basis.

So What is This Common Complaint?

To put it simply Insomnia is not a disease or disorder on its own, it is more of a complaint or a symptom of an underlying problem. In a nutshell, it is a definite indicator that there is something wrong.

If you are suffering from loss of sleep you are not alone, it is actually a very common problem, in fact around 30 percent of all adults suffer from it at some time or another.

It is mainly characterised as an inability to go to sleep and stay asleep for any normal period of time.

Are You an Insomniac?

There can be many symptoms associated with this condition, but some of the more common ones are:

• Finding it difficult to go to sleep and then stay asleep.
• Waking up tired.
• Feeling tired an irritable during the day.
• Feeling as though you want to go to sleep during the day.
• Waking up with headaches that feel like a hang over.

• Apnea.
• Restless legs.
• Anxiety.
• Depression.
• Stress.
• Weight (especially Obesity).
• Eating habits.
