What are the different types of insomnia?
One type of insomnia is acute or short-term insomnia, this generally endures for a few days, weeks, or up to six months.
This type of insomnia is quite common, and its main causes often involve work-related stress, familial pressures, or a traumatic incident.
Another type of insomnia is long-term or chronic insomnia, which persists for a month or longer.
In most cases, chronic insomnia is secondary, meaning it arises as a symptom or side effect of another underlying issue, such as certain medical conditions, medications, or other sleep disorders.
Primary chronic insomnia is relatively uncommon. Contributing factors can include prolonged stress, emotional distress, travel, and shift work.
Additionally, substances like caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol can also act as triggers for insomnia.
