Most everyone has experienced trouble sleeping, but insomnia (pronounced in-SOM-nee-a) is very different from the occasional sleepless night. Sufferers frequently have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. They often do not feel refreshed after sleep, leaving them feeling tired, depressed, sluggish, and irritable the next day.
Being unable to get a good night's sleep isn't simply frustrating; it can be dangerous. Each day, millions of sufferers — often fatigued and unable to focus on a task because of their insomnia — drive, operate heavy machinery, and perform jobs that require a high-level of concentration. This can lead to costly mistakes, life-threatening injuries, or death.
