I. What is insomnia.
Insomnia is the most common type of sleep disorder, is regardless of the quality of sleep and sleep time can not meet the normal work and needs of the body. There is a big difference in subjective feelings. (Everyone’s sleep needs are different; some people get enough sleep for a few hours, others, 8-9 hours of sleep is not enough.
