Insomnia is a debilitating sleep disorder symptom that manifests itself in the inability to get to sleep or to remain asleep for a healthy sleep cycle or long enough period of time. Insomniacs frequently have trouble calming their mind of finding comfort because of stress, anxiety, physical pain, some medications and even too much caffeine. Although many people think of insomnia as a sleep disorder, it is only a physical manifestation of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed if the issue is to be overcome.

In many cases, people respond very positively to changes in their sleep environment. By ensuring a comfortable mattress and pillow, the right bedding, the right temperature and sufficient darkness and quiet, people are often able to better focus on calming the mind and therefore lulling themselves to sleep. If chronic pain is a problem, a different mattress may mean the difference between a sleepless night and a restful one.

Do you wake up refreshed in the morning without the use of an alarm clock and feel energetic all day? If you don’t, you may not be sleeping enough (adults need between 7.5-8.5 hours a night of sleep) or you may suffer from a sleep disorder that affects 60 million Americans: insomnia. If you have insomnia, you probably experience difficulty falling asleep, waking up too early, waking up during the night and having trouble going back to sleep, or un-refreshing sleep. During the day, you may have difficulty concentrating or feel sleepy, fatigued, or irritable.

Obviously a significant life stress (losing a job or a loved one, divorce, or moving), illness, or environmental factors (noise, change of bed, the neighbor’s late night party) can throw off your normal sleep schedule, and health conditions (depression, heartburn, cancer, asthma, arthritis, etc.) can cause insomnia as well. Once these situations resolve themselves, your sleep schedule should improve. However, if these problems are not present, and you still cannot sleep, perhaps some of your daily, and nightly, routines contribute to your sleeplessness. Diet, environment, and routine are three areas that commonly affect sleeping success. Here are some healthy tips that many experts agree can improve the amount and quality of your sleep.
