According to the Mayo Clinic, insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep, or cause you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep.

You may still feel tired when you wake up.  How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night.

Insomnia symptoms may include:

-Difficulty falling asleep at night
-Waking up during the night
-Waking up too early
-Not feeling well-rested after a night's sleep
-Daytime tiredness or sleepiness
-Irritability, depression, or anxiety
-Difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, or remembering
-Increased errors or accidents
-Ongoing worries about sleep

When to see a doctor

If insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day, see your doctor to identify the cause of your sleep problem and how it can be treated.
