How to recognize
common symtoms of Insomnia?
All of us, at some time or the other, found ourselves wide-awake at night, when the whole world is sleeping. Even though we try desperately to sleep, it evades us, leaving us feeling tired, frustrated and drained out the next day. For most people this is a temporary phenomenon, triggered by some stress, anxiety or illness in our lives.
But there are many millions of people who go through this turmoil, night after night. These poor souls are just unable to fall asleep, try as hard as they might. Some do fall asleep for a few hours, only to get up frequently during the night. Restless sleep leaves them severely fatigued. These people are called insomniacs. Medical Insomnia is classed as not being able to sleep (or sleeping for less than 4 hours at a time) for 144 hours straight. Deliberately staying awake does not constitute insomnia.
