Insomnia...
Yes,you read it right,I am actually suffering from insomnia at the moment as I have a quiz for Economics later in the morning plus I still have tons of assignments to tutorials to be completed because I was not able to attend classes on Tuesday and Thursday due to having terrible gastritis and food poisoning. Missing lectures and tutoring sessions made me feel even more stressed as I hated resting in the room.If I live on the first floor,I would have definitely dragged myself to class but unfortunately I live on the 4th floor so I didn't want to take any risks as I eas afraid that I would faint ony jourmey as I was dehydrated and weak...Moreover,since I was losimg my sleep because I had been suffering from insomnia,my health was affected plus my eyebags became more obvious as days went by...
What is insomnia???
Insomnia is a sleep disorder. People with insomnia have trouble sleeping, in that they have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep as long as desired.[1][2]While the term is sometimes used to describe a disorder as diagnosed bypolysomnographic or actigraphicevidence, this is often practically defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"[2]
Insomnia is most often thought of as both a medical sign and a symptom[2][3]that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders characterized by a long term difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomnia can occur at any age, but it is particularly common in the elderly.[4] Insomnia can be short term (up to three weeks) or long term (above 3–4 weeks); it can lead to memory problems, depression, irritability and an increased risk of heart disease and automobile related accidents.[5]
