Introduction
Sleep is one of the most essential parts of our physical and mental well-being. Yet, millions of Americans struggle to get enough of it. If you’ve been lying awake night after night, feeling frustrated and exhausted, you might be dealing with insomnia.
At Mental Health Tele.com, we understand how deeply sleepless nights can affect your life — from your energy and focus to your mood and relationships.
What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get restful sleep — even when you have the opportunity to sleep. Over time, it can cause fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, and even physical health issues.
There are two main types:
- Acute insomnia: Short-term, often caused by stress or life events.
- Chronic insomnia: Long-term, lasting more than three nights a week for at least three months.
Common Symptoms of Insomnia
People with insomnia may experience:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking up frequently during the night
- Waking up too early and unable to fall back asleep
- Feeling tired after waking
- Difficulty concentrating during the day
- Increased irritability, anxiety, or low mood
Causes of Insomnia
There isn’t always a single cause — insomnia can result from a combination of factors such as:
1. Stress and Anxiety
Worrying about work, finances, or personal issues can keep your mind active at night.
2. Depression and Mental Health Conditions
Mood disorders like depression or PTSD can disrupt the body’s sleep-wake cycle.
3. Poor Sleep Habits
Irregular schedules, excessive screen time, or consuming caffeine late in the day can make it harder to fall asleep.
4. Medical Issues or Medications
Chronic pain, asthma, and some medications can interfere with sleep quality.
Treatment Options for Insomnia
At Mental Health Tele.com, we approach insomnia holistically — treating the root cause while helping you build healthier sleep habits.
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
A gold-standard treatment, CBT-I helps you identify and change thoughts or behaviors that contribute to poor sleep.
2. Medication Management
In some cases, short-term or long-term sleep aids may be prescribed to help regulate your sleep cycle.
3. Lifestyle and Behavioral Adjustments
Improving sleep hygiene — like keeping a consistent schedule, reducing screen time, and creating a calm environment — can make a big difference.
