Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the U.S., affecting millions of individuals each year. People with insomnia may struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or return to sleep after waking. Children, adults, and older individuals can all experience sleep disturbances, but the condition is particularly common among women and older adults.

Proper sleep is essential for physical and mental health. Without quality rest, individuals are at increased risk of developing conditions such as hypertension, depression, anxiety, obesity, and impaired cognitive functioning.
