GRAPH
Men 30%
Women 70%
SYMPTOMS OF INSOMIA
 Difficulty falling asleep
 Waking up often during the night and having trouble going back to sleep
 Waking up too early in the morning
 Feeling tired upon waking
 Difficulty falling asleep
TYPES OF INSOMIA
 Primary insomnia: Primary insomnia means that a person is
having sleep problems that are not directly associated with any other health
condition or problem.
 Secondary insomnia: Secondary insomnia means that a person is having sleep
problems because of something else, such as a health condition
like asthma, depression, arthritis, cancer, or heartburn pain; medication they are
taking; or a substance they are using (like alcohol).
CAUSES OF INSOMIA
 Significant life stress (job loss or change, death of a loved one, divorce, moving)
 Illness
 Emotional or physical discomfort
 Environmental factors like noise, light, or extreme temperatures (hot or cold) that interfere
with sleep
 Some medications may interfere with sleep
TREATMENT
 Acute insomnia may not require treatment. Mild insomnia often can be prevented or cured
by practicing good sleep habits. If your insomnia makes it hard for you to function during
the day because you are sleepy and tired, your health care provider may prescribe sleeping
pills for a limited time. Rapid onset, short-acting drugs can help you avoid effects such as
drowsiness the following day. Avoid using over-the-counter sleeping pills for insomnia,
because they may have undesired side effects and tend to lose their effectiveness over time.
CURES FOR INSOMIA
 CHANGE YOUR DIET.
 REDUCE STRESS
 TAKE QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS
 USE ESSENTIAL OILS
 CAHNGE YOUR LIFESTYLE
SUMMARY
Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. People with insomnia can
have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or awakening too early, or any combination of these
and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. Insomnia is not defined by a
specific number of hours of sleep that one gets, since individuals vary widely in their sleep
needs and practices. Although insomia can be very dangerous to our health always remember
to sleep in hours and have a proper diet.
