What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomnia can be divided into two basic categories: primary insomnia and secondary insomnia:

Primary insomnia
Primary insomnia refers to a sleep disturbance that occurs without any specific underlying condition that causes the insomnia. Individuals with primary insomnia experience a sleep problem without having any medical or psychiatric condition that is the cause of it. Primary insomnia is largely due to learned maladaptive sleep patterns and represents the most common form of insomnia.Wise Women Tips for More Serenity, Serenity Medicine, How Reflexology can Ease Stress, Holistic Stress Management, the Nerve Programme

Secondary insomnia
Secondary insomnia differs from primary insomnia in that a specific condition can be identified as the cause of the sleep problem and should be evaluated by a GP. Some examples of secondary insomnia are:

  • Sleep-wake schedule or circadian rhythm disorders are sleep disorders caused by having sleep-wake schedules that do not match up with your natural sleep schedule. People who work the night shift may suffer from this problem.
  • Insomnia due to medical conditions: Many common medical problems and the drugs that treat them can cause insomnia, including allergies, arthritis, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, Parkinson's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or hyperthyroidism. Physical discomfort (e.g. chronic pain) may also cause problems sleeping.
  • Insomnia due to substance use or withdrawal: Many drugs and medications can cause sleep disturbances, either while taking them or while withdrawing from them. Alcohol, stimulants, sedatives, and even long-term use of sleep medications can cause insomnia.
  • Insomnia due to an emotional problem: Insomnia can be a symptom of a number of emotional difficulties.
  • Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder caused by difficulty breathing during sleep. Persistent, loud snoring and frequent long pauses in breathing during sleep, followed by choking or gasping for breath are the main sighs of sleep apnea.
  • Restless Legs Syndrome is a sleep disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations (creeping, burning, itching, pulling or tugging) in the legs or feet, occurring mostly in the evening and at night.
