Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, affecting about 10% of adults in the U.S. Insomnia is described as difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep – resulting in a negative impact on the next day.

Insomnia should not be ignored.
The consequences of sleep-deprivation are far greater than just frustrating, long nights. Sleep is essential, so not getting enough of it compromises our quality of life and health.

Even though sleep is often thought of as "natural" or something we should be able to do on our own, sometimes we need help to get our sleep cycle back on track. If your sleepless nights are impacting your days, talk to your doctor soon because short-term, or transient, insomnia may turn into chronic insomnia if ignored.
