Do I have Insomnia?

I've been having such a hard time with sleep lately. It takes forever to fall asleep, and even when I do, I'm awake again in just a few hours. During the day, I'm so tired, but then at night, it's like my brain won't switch off.

Here are some key points and potential causes:

  • Stress and Anxiety: Concerns about work, school, health, finances, or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep.

  • Travel or Work Schedule: Disruptions in your body's circadian rhythms can cause insomnia.

  • Poor Sleep Habits: Irregular bedtime schedules, stimulating activities before bed, and an uncomfortable sleep environment can contribute to insomnia.

  • Eating Too Much Late in the Evening: Having a light snack before bedtime is okay, but eating too much may cause physical discomfort while lying down.

  • Mental Health Disorders: Conditions like depression and anxiety can lead to insomnia.

  • Medications: Certain prescription drugs can interfere with sleep.

  • Medical Conditions: Examples include chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overactive thyroid, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

  • Substance Use: Consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol can affect your sleep quality.
