Insomnia is more than just the occasional restless night; it is a persistent challenge that many face, disrupting not only their rest but their daily lives. Characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up too early, insomnia can drain one’s energy, mood and overall health.

There are various types of insomnia:
- Acute Insomnia: A short-term condition often caused by life stressors.

- Comorbid Insomnia: Insomnia that occurs with another condition.
