Insomnia

Most people suffer from occasional insomnia or sleeplessness due to things such as stress, depression, heartburn, pain, or drinking too much caffeine or alcohol.1 However, insomnia can be chronic. Insomnia can affect a person's energy level and mood, as well as weaken the immune system.1 The causes of insomnia are typically either sleeping disorders, physical disorders, or psychiatric disorders.2
