Online Insomnia Treatment
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is more than just an occasional sleepless night. It's a chronic condition that disrupts your ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel rested upon waking. It can cause significant distress and impact daily functioning, leaving individuals feeling tired and irritable throughout the day. While occasional sleeplessness is common, chronic insomnia can lead to more serious health and emotional issues if left untreated.
