Insomnia

A person lying awake in bed at night, staring at the ceiling with tired eyes. A dim lamp glows softly in the background, emphasizing the nighttime setting and difficulty falling asleep.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get restful sleep—even when you have the chance. It can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic), and it often affects your energy, mood, and daily performance.
