Causes Of Insomnia

The onset of insomnia can be caused by a variety of environmental, physiological, and psychological causes, such as:

1. Life's stresses might come from your job, your relationships, your finances, and more.
2. Unhealthy sleep and lifestyle choices.
3. Depression, anxiety disorders, and/or other mental health issues.
4. Chronic illnesses, such as cancer.
5. Fibromyalgia, arthritis, or other conditions that cause chronic pain.
6. Digestive illnesses, such as heartburn.
7. Fluctuating hormone levels brought on by menstruation, menopause, thyroid disease, or other conditions.
8. Prescription drugs and other drugs.
9. Neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
10. Other sleep disorders, including restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea.

The risk factors for insomnia

Women experience insomnia more frequently than do males. Hormonal changes during pregnancy might interfere with sleep. Sleep can also be impacted by other hormonal changes, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or menopause. Over the age of sixty, insomnia becomes increasingly prevalent. Due to physical changes brought on by ageing, potential medical issues, and the use of sleep-disturbing drugs, older persons may have a lower likelihood of getting a good night's sleep.
