Insomnia
Insomnia is defined as having difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep. Sleep deprivation is a huge problem throughout America because without sleep the body doesn’t function as well as it could. Approximately 60 million adults in the United States have this condition. There are three kinds of insomnia: transient, acute, and chronic. Also, there are different patterns of insomnia. Some causes can be from the diet the person is eating, a hormone shift in their body, mental disorders, or some drugs. There are some treatments available to treat insomnia. It is a growing issue in the United States because of how busy our society is and when people can’t sleep they lose performance the next day.
