Everyone experiences difficulty sleeping now and then, and the occasional occurrence of sleeplessness is nothing to be too concerned about. Insomnia describes the chronic sleep deprivation which is a disorder that is experienced by roughly one third of the UK population. Someone that is unable to get to sleep, or to stay asleep for enough time to recharge properly, on a regular basis, is said to have insomnia. If you lay awake at night and find it hard to get to sleep, wake up several times during the night, or wake up still feeling tired on a regular basis, then you have insomnia. The physical and psychological effects of insomnia have been studied closely for years, and the findings emphasize the direct connection between the sleep disorder insomnia and more serious mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Insomnia can present itself in various forms and can have a multitude of different causes. Before you can successfully treat/cure insomnia, you will first need to identify the underlying cause(s). After identifying what is causing your insomnia, a doctor may prescribe sleeping tablets to help you correct your sleeping pattern. Doctors will generally also advise that for best results, patients should combine the use of sleeping tablets with cognitive behavioral therapy, also called CBT-i. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on lifestyle and attitude changes that can also contribute towards getting a healthy night’s sleep.

If you, or someone in your family, is experiencing chronic sleep deprivation ,then it is advised that you get treatment before your insomnia develops into more serious mental health problems such as anxiety or depression.
