 Chronic insomnia can affect not only your mood and alertness, but also your overall health. Medical conditions such as depression, chronic pain, or restless leg syndrome are common factors in chronic insomnia. When insomnia becomes a pattern that interferes with your daily life, you may have chronic insomnia and should see a health care provider for diagnosis if you lie awake and have difficulty falling asleep. You struggle to maintain sleep and wake frequently throughout the night several times a week for several months. You wake up too early and can't go back to sleep. You have poor quality, restless, or non-restorative sleep. You have any combination of these symptoms. Fortunately, for the majority of us, adopting healthy bedtime habits often make it easier to fall and stay asleep. Many times establishing a routine is effective, avoiding heavy meals and exercise within four hours of bedtime, sticking to a regular schedule of sleep and wake times even on the weekends, limiting stimulating activities in evening TV and computer time, establishing a soothing wind-down routine, making the bedroom dark and cozy and turning down the temperature are all strategies that can aid in more restful sleep.
