Wouldn't you want to know if someone in your house was suffering from lack of sleep? Has anyone been cranky lately in the morning? Do you notice someone staying up all night long? Insomnia may have already set in.
When determining if someone in your home has insomnia, it is important to know the difference between the types of insomnia.
Transient insomnia is another name for short-term insomnia. Transient insomnia can be caused by environmental conditions like changes to our normal routine. Distractions around the time of sleep such as noise and bright lights in the bedroom qualify.
A more involved type of insomnia would be chronic insomnia. Another name for it is long term insomnia. The causes for this vary but sufferers haven't had a good night's sleep for months. People who suffer from conditions outside of their environment like sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome experience this type of insomnia. Only through treatment will the sleep problems resolve.
Some people are more prone to sleeping difficulties than others, just as some people are more prone to experience headaches or stomach irritability. People of all ages can experience insomnia, but the elderly tend to experience it more often. Teenagers can begin to experience insomnia at the onset of puberty; internal clocks reset themselves to a bedtime of 2-3 hours later. Because of school the following morning, teenagers are not able to catch up on that lost sleep by sleeping in.
If you've noticed someone who wakes early in the morning, that could be a symptom of insomnia. Combine that with waking at all hours of the night and troubles getting to sleep and you have the formula for a case of insomnia.
In time, living life with an inadequate amount of sleep night after night will take its toll; stressful situations bring on physical stress to your body. People who suffer from insomnia can experience high blood pressure or other heart diseases, weight fluctuation, gastrointestinal problems, and a reduced immune system.
Insomnia can severely interfere with daily tasks and responsibilities of work, school, and home life. It's important to be able to recognize the symptoms and understand the treatments available to get the best night's sleep possible. - 16083
