What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restful sleep. While occasional sleepless nights are common, persistent insomnia can have a significant impact on a teenager’s physical health, emotional well-being, and daily functioning.

Common Symptoms of Insomnia

Recognizing the symptoms of insomnia is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. Common symptoms include:

Difficulty Falling Asleep

Prolonged time to initiate sleep, often characterized by racing thoughts.

Frequent Nighttime Awakenings

Waking up many times during the night and struggling to return to sleep.

Daytime fatigue and impaired concentration

Insomnia can result in persistent tiredness and difficulty focusing during waking hours due to inadequate sleep.

Early Morning Awakening

Waking up earlier than desired and being unable to resume sleep.

Daytime Sleepiness

Experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Irritability and Mood Changes

Insomnia can contribute to irritability, mood swings, and increased susceptibility to stress.

While occasional sleep disruptions are normal, persistent insomnia can significantly impact a teenager’s physical and mental health. Sleep is crucial for cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Seeking help for insomnia is essential to identify underlying factors contributing to sleep disturbances and to implement effective interventions for better sleep hygiene.
