How to know if you have insomnia
If you experience difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or enjoying a restful night's sleep, you may have

Waking up frequently during the night with difficulty returning to sleep

Insomnia is a common problem in the U.S. The National Academy of Medicine estimates that between 50 and 70 million Americans have
chronic sleep problems
.
It is classified as:
Transient (short term) â lasting from a single night to a few weeks
Intermittent (on and off) â episodes occur from time to time
Chronic (constant) â occurs on most nights and lasts a month or more
Causes and symptoms of insomnia
Insomnia may be caused by many factors, including:
Stress
Depression
Anxiety
Physical illness
Caffeine intake
Irregular schedules
Drugs (including alcohol and nicotine)
Occasional or chronic pain
The symptoms of insomnia include:
Daytime sleepiness
Low energy or fatigue
