Description: You lie awake at night staring at the ceiling. You feel like you’re cursed, but you’re not alone. Estimates suggest between 1 in 10 and 1 in 3 people suffer from some degree of insomnia, which is having trouble with either falling asleep, staying asleep during the night, or waking up earlier than you intend to in the morning (or a combination of the above). There are many reasons why you might be struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night, ranging from stressful life events, like getting fired from a job to health issues.
