Insomnia, or sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder in which
there is an inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep as long as desired.
Insomnia is most often thought of as both a medical sign and a symptom that can
accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders characterized by a
persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor
quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.
Insomnia can occur at any age, but it is particularly common in the elderly. (4)
Insomnia can be short term (up to three weeks) or long term (above 3-4 weeks),
which can lead to memory problems, depression, irritability and an increased
risk of heart disease and automobile related accidents.
