Too Long; Didn't Read
Like many conditions, common underlying causes for insomnia often lie in our diet, exercise habits (or lack thereof), and stress. Even other mental health diagnoses may present symptoms that affect our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. For some, sleeping medication is a reliable treatment, but the mysteries around the human sleep cycle make medication not an option for everyone. Side effects like potential dependence, memory issues, and ironically, drowsiness. Lucky there are other treatments, and many in development, for those suffering with sleep disorders, other than medication.
