Insomnia
What is
Insomnia ?
Insomnia means difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early without feeling rested. It is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Sleep is vital for the body’s restorative processes, and poor-quality sleep can disrupt these functions, leading to a range of health and cognitive issues. Insomnia treatment focuses on restoring healthy sleep patterns through holistic and natural approaches.

- Difficulty falling asleep at night
- Frequent awakenings during the night
- Waking up too early and being unable to go back to sleep

A short-term condition often triggered by stress, illness, or environmental factors such as noise.
