Insomnia plagues millions of Americans. While the condition is common, an accurate diagnosis of the root problem can be elusive. What’s worse, insomnia and the resulting poor sleep can be devastating, negatively affecting every aspect of your health.

Insomnia: Getting a Diagnosis
Have you had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep the whole night? Your symptoms probably seem to point to insomnia, but the only way to know for sure is to get a diagnosis.
​
Insomnia is a sleep disorder where people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. Insomnia can be short-term, lasting for days or weeks, or long-term, lasting more than a month.
​
When you’re not sleeping well, your entire life is affected. You may feel unfocused, tired all the time, or just have a lingering sense that you’re not at your best. Many people dealing with anxiety or increased stress in their lives suffer from a difficulty falling asleep. Since the brain is constantly learning new behaviors, what begins as a temporary bout of insomnia can become a chronic condition after the mind becomes accustomed to lacking sleep.
​
​
Types of insomnia:
​
Short-term or acute insomnia symptoms last for less than 3 months. About 15% to 20% of people have this type of insomnia.
​
Chronic insomnia symptoms happen at least three times a week for at least 3 months. About 10% of people have this type.
