2. INSOMNIA
Insomnia is really tough especially when it is a result of anxiety
or depression, and we use this term especially because the
person that experiences this problem has to face and solve one
or much more problems than the insomnia.
We live in a fast paced ordinary life. Human beings have been
transformed into machines that do things all day long and
sometimes the length of the day is not enough even to sleep and
relax for someone who is working all day. Everybody have seen
people eating in the underground or in the busses, particularly
in big cities. These are reasons that could create anxiety. On the
other hand, depression is produced when thinking about things
that we would like to achieve and we do not have the time to
make them real in our life.
