There are few things as frustrating as being exhausted and laying awake, unable to fall asleep. You know that feeling, as the minutes then hours pass by and your brain just won’t turn off. Everyone from time to time has trouble falling asleep, but if it means you can’t sleep on a frequent basis you may have insomnia. Insomnia is a rather broad term for the most common sleep complaint. Like other sleeping disorders, it reduces quality of life, the ability to focus and energy levels.
