Self Care

Getting enough sleep is essential for the proper functioning of the body and mind, and for overall well-being. Insomnia encompasses various difficulties: falling asleep, staying asleep throughout the night, or waking up too early in the morning. It has multiple causes, including work-related stress, traumatic experiences, family conflicts, caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco use, and certain medications, among others. Insomnia often leads to daytime difficulties such as lack of energy, drowsiness, irritability, depression, anxiety, and problems with concentration and memory.
