INSOMNIA, SLEEPLESSNESS

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by the inability to sleep and/or remain asleep for a reasonable period during the night.

Types of Insomnia include:

• Transient Insomnia: Lasts up to one week and often occurs in response to stressful events.
• Intermittent Insomnia: Short-term insomnia lasts for 1 to 6 months and usually occurs when more serious and ongoing stress is present.
• Chronic Insomnia: Chronic insomnia is any insomnia that lasts more than 6 months.

Diagnostic Summary:
Difficulty falling asleep (sleep-onset insomnia)
Frequent or early awakening (maintenance insomnia)
Affects one out of every four people in the United States.

For many people restlessness, anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders are contributing to their insomnia. In these cases, an imbalance of neurotransmitters may be to blame. Testing neurotransmitters, and correcting any imbalance may
resolve your insomnia disorder.

Start a regular exercise program that elevates your heart rate by 50-75% for at least 20 minutes per day. (DO NOT START A NEW EXERCISE PROGRAM WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.)
