Insomnia Symptoms |
 |
|
The
symptoms of insomnia may vary from one person to the next. Generally,
however, the sufferer will experience one or more of the following
symptoms:
- Difficulty falling asleep, which
may last up to one hour. During this time the person will likely be
tossing and turning and developing a growing sense of frustration.
- Constant night time awakenings and
ensuing difficulty in getting back to sleep.
- Waking far too early in the
morning and not being able to get back to sleep.
- Irritability, drowsiness, non
productivity and stress during the waking hours.
Chronic
insomnia increases the likelihood of depression and anxiety disorder.
Insomnia is not characterized by a minimum quantity of sleep but,
rather, by how refreshed the sleeper feels after awakening. It
is possible to be a short sleeper or a restless sleeper and yet get
the amount of sleep you need. The Insomniac, however, feels
constantly fatigued throughout the day.
