Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or fully relax while sleeping.
Insomnia is generally caused by either:
- psychological causes - depression, anxiety, stress

- pregnancy
- night jobs and other shift work
- jet lag
- anything that prevents a full, uninterrupted period of sleep at night
