☾ Insomnia and Insomniacs ☾
Hello, I made this thread to meet some fellow insomniacs here on CS, and to hopefully get some discussion going. You do not have to be an insomniac to post and discuss on here. Anyone is welcome. ^^ I've added some information and discussion questions below.
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleeping disorder when you often have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep through the night.
What is an Insomniac?
An insomniac is simply a person who suffers from Insomnia.
What causes Insomnia?
Primary Insomnia
Primary Insomnia
☾ Long-lasting stress and/or emotional upset. Primary Insomnia is in its own, a distinct disorder. The exact cause is unknown.
Secondary Insomnia
☾ Often caused by family problems, stress at work, or a traumatic event.
☾ Medical conditions, medicines.
Symptoms of Insomnia
There are several symptoms of insomnia. Some more common symptoms are as follows:
☾ Waking up too early in the morning.
☾ Feeling like you haven't slept once you've woken.
☾ Trouble concentrating.
☾ Fatigue.
☾ Trouble falling asleep, and/or staying asleep.
☾ Mood changes, irritability.
Other
☾ Insomnia can be cured, and there are sleep aids you can try that do not require visiting a doctor. Melatonin is an all natural, common sleep-aiding medicine you can get at most stores.
☾ Lack of sleep can cause you to have frequent headaches and sometimes, hallucinations.
☾ Insomnia and anxiety disorders often tend to go hand in hand.
Some questions you can feel free to answer, or post your own. ^^
