Understanding Insomnia/Sleeplessness: What is insomnia/sleeplessness?

Insomnia (also known as sleeplessness) can manifest itself in a number of different ways:
Difficulty falling asleep
Light or restless sleeping
Waking often during the night
Lying awake in the middle of the night
Waking early and being unable to get back to sleep

If the sleeplessness lasts for only a few nights it is described as transient. This type of insomnia is often caused by external factors such as a stressful lifestyle or noise. On these occasions a herbal sedative, such as Kalms Sleep, may help to restore the body?s natural sleeping patterns.
Long-term insomnia that occurs every night and lasts a month or more is described as chronic. The causes of this can be more complicated and it is advisable to see your G.P. for diagnosis and treatment.
