Finally catch some zzz’s.
Insomnia
Insomnia is the inability to sleep enough at night. It is those moments you catch yourself watching the clock and stressing as the time goes by because you know that if you don’t get some sleep, you will feel terrible tomorrow. It is tossing and turning all night long. It is taking a long time to fall asleep or easily falling asleep, but waking up soon after and being unable to fall back asleep. It is constantly feeling tired, but too wired to sleep. It is moodiness, agitation, and difficulty concentrating because you haven’t truly rested. It is a true health concern.
