Insomnia is a sleep disorder that occurs when you can't fall asleep no matter how hard you try.

To overcome this disease, it is recommended to pay attention to its causes.

You may be under a lot of stress or have had a history of mental illness. It is also not recommended to take stimulants or medications before bed.

The most common reason is a banal sleep disorder.

How to deal with insomnia

If you cannot sleep for more than three days in a row, you must immediately consult a doctor who will prescribe a strong sleeping pill.

There are also two methods that may work for a person who does not yet have serious problems with sleep.

It is very important to maintain a sleep routine, namely, go to bed at the same time every night, even if you did not get a good night's sleep the night before.

The second way is to distract yourself from the problem. You can get up and do something calm and pleasant for 15 minutes.
