Insomnia; known to be a deadly and silent killer, if left
untreated this chronic sleep disorder can cause irrefutable damage to the central
nervous system.
According to continuous research of the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services, “Insomnia is a condition in which you have trouble
falling asleep”. And, also duly noted by the National Institutes of Health,
“Long-term insomnia can cause you to feel depressed or irritable; having
trouble paying attention; learning and remembering; and not to do your best at
the job or at school.

one hour before bed time; this is when most people begin to have the most
difficult time in falling asleep. Onset insomnia can bring about difficulty in
falling asleep due to extra anxiety in ones personal life, undue stress is also
the major cause of ill health in American people.
