increase with age and affects about 40 percent of all women and 30
percent of men.
Transient or short-term insomnia is typically
caused by stress, jet lag or a medical illnesses. Certain medications
will also make sleeping difficult. Normal sleeping habits usually
return once things are back to normal.

not a disease. It may take the form of difficulty in either falling or
staying asleep. Sleeping problems, dissatisfaction with sleep quality
and tiredness are the only common characteristics of insomnia. By its

needs professional support from a sleep disorder clinic or specialist.

night’s sleep for an adult is around seven or eight hours. Some can
cope with as little as four hours, while others like up to 9-10 hours
sleep. What may feel like insomnia to one person might be considered a
good night’s sleep by another.
