This quote captures the essence of insomnia, a common sleep disorder that disrupts sleep patterns and overall well-being. Insomnia can make it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or cause early awakenings. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness, irritability, and cognitive impairments.

Insomnia affects mental health significantly, increasing anxiety, stress, and the risk of depression. This creates a vicious cycle, where anxiety about sleep worsens the disorder.
