There are few things more unpleasant than waking up in the morning without a decent night’s sleep. You know that feeling, when you wake up with five, maybe six hour of sleep, or maybe less, then going through your day, just going through the motions. Your body might be there, but the rest of you isn’t!
This is the scenario faced by millions of North Americans each day. In fact, sleeplessness and symptoms of insomnia affects 40 million Americans. That’s the population of Canada and a large American city, say, Los Angeles. It’s enough to make you think we’re living in a nation of zombies. Considering that sleeplessness costs the American economy $150 billion per year in absenteeism and lost productivity, and 1,500 people die in the 100,000 car accidents caused by sleep-deprived drivers, that analogy might be more accurate than you think.
Before we proceed further, we should probably clarify the differences between sleeplessness and insomnia. Sleeplessness generally refers to symptoms associated with sleeping problems for less than a week. These symptoms include trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep, waking up early and not falling back to sleep and sleeping the entire night but not feeling rested in the morning. Insomnia is a broad term that encompasses symptoms of sleeplessness and/or a sleep disorder lasting longer than a week. Insomnia can mean a disorder, or just problems with sleeping.
Acute insomnia refers to sleeping problems lasting longer than a month and can lead to mental and physical illness.
