Insomnia may mean trouble falling asleep, repeated awakenings, waking too early or feeling impaired during the day.
What should you know?
Stress, irregular schedules, caffeine, pain and health conditions can disturb sleep. Long-term insomnia needs more than a quick fix with sleeping tablets.
Practical steps
- Aim for a consistent wake-up time.
- Reduce late caffeine and bright screens, and keep the bedroom quiet and dark.
- Ask about cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) when symptoms persist.
When to seek professional assessment
Loud snoring with breathing pauses or dangerous daytime sleepiness requires assessment. Never drive when excessively sleepy.
Frequently asked question
Does insomnia always require medication?
No. CBT-I is an important first-line approach for chronic insomnia.
