If you struggle with falling asleep and staying asleep, you are not alone. Roughly 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia annually. The causes of insomnia are broad, and often deeply rooted in the individual’s habits, health, and emotional wellbeing. Stress, grief, and trauma often contribute to insomnia. Chronic pain, asthma, allergies, and other physical ailments may also disrupt sleep and lead to insomnia. Medication may also contribute to the issue.
