With insomnia, you may have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting good quality sleep. This happens even if you have the time and the right environment to sleep well. Insomnia can get in the way of your daily activities and may make you feel sleepy during the day. Short-term insomnia may be [caused by stress](https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/insomnia/causes) or changes in your schedule or environment. It can last for a few days or weeks. Chronic (long-term) insomnia occurs 3 or more nights a week, lasts more than 3 months, and cannot be fully explained by another health problem. To [diagnose](https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/insomnia/diagnosis) insomnia, your healthcare provider may ask about your sleep habits and ask you to keep a sleep diary. Your provider may also recommend healthy lifestyle habits such as a [regular sleep schedule](https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/insomnia/living-with), cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and medicines to help you [manage your insomnia](https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/insomnia/treatment). Insomnia can affect your memory and concentration.
