Remedies for Insomnia APK

Insomnia is a sleep deficit disorder. A person suffering from insomnia fails to get sleep or maintain consistency in the sleep pattern. Most of us have experienced insomnia some time or the other, and know how tiresome and frustrating it is to be unable to sleep when the world is enjoying sleep. Even when an insomniac strives hard to sleep, sleep evades him or her. Insomnia may be a temporary phenomenon induced by sudden stress or anxiety, but there are some who experience this curse night after night. They stay wide awake all through the night, and even if they fall asleep, they wake up frequently. People getting less than 4 hours of sleep night after night are grouped as insomniacs. Insomniacs may experience the following consequences:

1. Extreme fatigue
2. Lethargy
3. Depression
4. Stress and anxiety
5. Headaches
6. Confusion
7. Lack of concentration
8. Hallucinations during day
9. Irritability
10. Dizziness
11. Impaired memory
12. Rapid loss of weight.

Insomnia may be transient, acute or short-term and chronic. When a person is incapable of sleeping for a night or few weeks, it is referred to as transient insomnia. When he or she fails to sleep for about more than 3 weeks, it is acute insomnia. If sleep does not come for a period longer than a month, it is chronic insomnia. Deliberate avoidance of sleep however is not insomnia. Women are gripped more by insomnia than men.
