Insomnia Disorder

This is what most people think of when they hear the term insomnia. Sometimes called "classic insomnia", this is when a person has trouble falling asleep, is unable to stay asleep or wakes up too early in the morning. In the case of insomnia disorder, the sleeping difficulties are not caused by the presence of a physical illness, psychological condition or another sleep disorder (eg. sleep apnea, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder, etc.).

 

Insomnia disorder can have a variety of different causes and contributing factors. Some of the more common contributors include:

 

  • Stress/worry

  • An overactive awakening system

  • Sleep-impeding behaviours

  • Hormonal changes/irregularities

  • Poor dietary choices

  • Genetics
