What causes insomnia?
 
Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night?  Do you have trouble staying asleep? If you answered yes to either question, you may suffer from a form of sleeplessness or insomnia.
 
Many factors can prevent someone from getting a good night’s sleep and while some sleep disorders are more serious and need treatment by a doctor, others can be corrected quite simply.  If you’re having trouble falling asleep at night or having trouble staying asleep, it may help to find out what is causing the problem.
 
Do I really need a sleep aid?
 
Do you occasionally find yourself in bed, wide-awake, staring at the alarm clock and counting the hours until you have to get up?  Do you wake up frequently throughout the night for no apparent reason and have trouble falling back asleep? If so, you may benefit from a sleep aid.
