Insomnia is trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
Those with insomnia get an insufficient amount of sleep, or don t feel rested after having slept. This often impairs social and occupational functioning. It may cause you to stop breathing for 30-90 seconds at a time, up to 600 times each night. Alternating with these long pauses in breathing are loud snores or brief gasps, and often whole-body movements. It s a significant cause of interrupted sleep both for the snorer and the bed partner.
