Insomnia is a symptom[1] of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.[2][3]
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans suffer from insomnia on a regular basis each year.[4] Insomnia occurs 1.4 times more commonly in women than in men.[5]
Misery likes company. If I stay up much longer I'll have some insomniac Americans to share my pain.
Anyone fancy starting an "Insomniathon"?
