What causes insomnia?

Insomnia can be caused by stress, anxiety, or depression, which disrupt sleep patterns and make it difficult to fall or stay asleep.

Medical conditions such as asthma, arthritis, or chronic pain can contribute to insomnia by causing discomfort or interruptions during the night.

Lifestyle factors like excessive caffeine intake, irregular sleep schedules, or high levels of screen time before bed can cause insomnia.

Certain medications and substances, including stimulants or alcohol, can interfere with sleep and lead to insomnia.

Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome can also cause insomnia by disrupting normal sleep cycles.
