Definition of insomnia....me\! Inability to sleep, either difficulty getting to sleep, waking lots during the night or waking up too early in the morning. Insomnia comes in three different forms: Transient insomnia - lasting for a few nights Short-term insomnia - two to four weeks of poor sleep Chronic Insomnia - poor sleep that happens most nights and lasts for a month or longer. (hence me being here at 05:08 writing definitions) Can cause physical side-affects and is often caused by some underlying mental cause ...most commonly; depression.

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder. There are various different types of insomnia, depending on a number of factors. Transitory insomnia affects an individual for only a few nights. Short term insomnia may last several days or a couple weeks. Chronic insomnia lasts several weeks or even months. Insomnia may affect different parts of the sleep cycle. A person with insomnia may have little trouble falling asleep, but find that they wake up after only a few hours and cannot fall back asleep for several more, if at all. A person may also have immense difficulty falling asleep, only to find that they can't stay asleep for any meaningful length of time. Having a sleep cycle longer or shorter than 24 hours does not necessarily constitute insomnia, however it may be a sign of another sleeping disorder, and should not be ignored. Staying up late and sleeping in is not insomnia either, as insomnia constitutes an inability to get enough sleep, and not an inability (or unwillingness) to get to sleep at the right time. Many people believe that they have insomnia, or claim to have insomnia, who actually only have one of the above problems.

The author of this definition fell asleep at about 8:30 PM last night, and woke up at about 12:00 AM. It is now about 7:00 AM, and he has still not been able to return to sleep, despite attempts to sedate himself repeatedly with milk, music, and masturbation. This difficulty has persisted in a like manner for several weeks. It is likely that he suffers from some form of insomnia.

Insomnia which is thought of a disease or disorder when most of it is psychological. Insomnia happens to those who negatively condition themselves to having bad sleeping beliefs and thinking habits to keep them awake. People with insomnia usually take sleeping pills for sleep which do have medication but can be seen as a psychological placebo effect. Insomnia is mainly the inability to get to sleep or enough sleep though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown to improve sleeping habits in those who have insomnia.
