Insomnia 

Insomnia is related to difficulties with sleep. This can include trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, frequent waking, or a combination of those three events. This will often result in nonrestorative sleep. These sleep disturbances occur despite adequate opportunities and circumstances to sleep. These sleep difficulties will usually occur at least 3 times per week and have been present for at least 1 month. 

​

It is estimated that 30% of adults will experience some degree of insomnia during their lifetime and that 10% of adults suffer from anxiety that is not being treated.
