Having insomnia can be troublesome.
It could lead to far more damaging and permanent diseases or illnesses and could even endanger your life.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder generally characterized by the difficulty of falling asleep.
When a person with insomnia does manage to sleep, it is often broken or interrupted.
Sometimes, the sufferer would find himself waking up on an hourly interval.
When he wakes in the morning, he feels more tired and weary than ever, rather than refreshed and revitalized.
Thus, during the day, an insomniac have a high risk of accidents on the road while driving, mistakes during work / school due to impaired memory and poor concentration, and unpleasant interactions with others because of being short-tempered and irritability.
Sleep is the foremost activity when our body has the chance of mending and reviving itself.
Our skin, bones and muscles that have been worn and torn during the activities of the day are replenished, restored and fixed.
Thus, if we failed to have enough and satisfying sleeps, chances are we wake up still worn and torn.
