What will help insomnia?

Insomnia - Causes and relief

Insomnia is generally considered by doctors to be a symptom not a disease. Some illnesses can cause insomnia, including depression, anxiety, and arthritis. Lifestyle is another factor in insomnia if you consume items such as caffiene, alcohol, smoke. Stress can also lead to insomnia. The problem is considered chronic if it persists for three weeks or more. Incidents lasting from two days to two weeks are rated as transient. It is estimated that 60% of insomnia cases are of the chronic variety. Quality sleep is essential for physical and emotional well-being. If you experience chronic insomia, see your doctor and discuss the possibility of using exercise to relieve these symptoms.
