There are many possible causes for insomnia. It could be brought about by medical or psychiatric problems, medications or substances, and other biological factors. With insomnia, it is the brain that is affected as it is having difficulty to stop being awake. Before the doctor gives you the treatment, he or she will first determine the root cause of the problem.
Medical conditions that may have caused insomnia include chronic pain, arthritis, asthma, sinus allergies, low back pain, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, and many others. In addition, some medications used to treat these conditions may also contribute to sleeplessness. This is especially true with medications for asthma, endocrine problems, hypertension, contraceptives, nasal allergies, and common cold. Furthermore, other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea may also aggravate or triggered insomnia.
Insomnia may also be a symptom of depression. People who are emotionally and mentally unstable have difficulty going to sleep. People who lack sleep also have abnormal mood swings and hormonal imbalances. This means insomnia could be a symptom or could be an aggravating factor of an underlying condition.
