Insomnia is habitual sleeplessness, characterized by the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. Sleep is also often inadequate and unrefreshing. Insomnia itself is not a disorder however. Insomnia is a symptom of other issues. It is most often caused by emotional issues and stress.
Other issues of insomnia may include an irregular schedule, physical disorders, drug use, alcohol use, emotional problems and stress. An irregular schedule can also cause a sleep-wake schedule disorder where the sleeping patterns are disrupted by jet lag, work schedules, thse who have been hospitalized and awakened frequently in the night, or excessive use of alcohol. Many people with insomnia experience symptoms such as irritability, fatigue during the day, problems concentrating, and difficulty performing under stress.
About 10 percent of adults have chronic insomnia and 50 percent of adults have occasional insomnia. However, many older people mistake their changing sleep patterns for insomnia as the need for sleep decreases with age. Older people may awaken more at night also.
