Include Insomnia information on your My EmpowHer page
Insomnia refers to inadequate or poor-quality sleep. Insomnia may be due to difficulty falling asleep, or problems with middle-of-the-night or very early morning awakening. Insomnia lasting from a single night to a few weeks is referred to as transient. If episodes of transient insomnia occur from time to time, the insomnia is said to be intermittent or short term insomnia. Insomnia is considered to be chronic if it occurs on most nights and lasts a month or more. This form usually needs treatment.
