Insomnia simply means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. If it isn’t treated, it can make you feel irritable, forgetful, or even depressed and anxious. Over time, it may increase your risk of accidents, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and problems with your immune system. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, affecting around 30% to 50% of people. About 1 in 10 people struggle with chronic, long-lasting insomnia.

Sometimes, insomnia happens because of another health problem, like an overactive thyroid, heart failure, lung disease, memory loss, pain, or other sleep disorders. In these cases, it is called secondary insomnia. But if there isn’t an obvious cause or medical issue linked to the sleep trouble, it’s known as primary insomnia.

Insomnia is also described by how often and how long it happens. Transient insomnia lasts only a few days, often after a stressful event or too much caffeine or nicotine. Episodic (short-term) insomnia lasts up to three weeks and can come and go. Chronic (persistent) insomnia means having sleep problems at least twice a week for a month or longer.

Many things can cause insomnia, such as stress, heartburn, a poor sleep environment, aches and pains, an irregular sleep schedule, eating or exercising right before bed, or the effects of medicines, alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine. For example, caffeine stays in your system longer than most people realise—it takes about five hours for half of it to leave your body, and a quarter can still be there even ten hours after your last cup of coffee or fizzy drink.
