      Great question Nicobarnett, at least from my point of view as that is what I study all the time. Broadly, insomnia is a problem of getting off to sleep or waking up in the night. This is usually caused by stress. In most cases it will go away on its own, within a couple of weeks, but for some it then becomes a bigger problem and that is when people need help…
