CBD Do you ever lie awake at night, hour after hour, not being able to fall asleep? Or maybe you have been diagnosed with insomnia? Whatever the situation is, not enough sleep affects your daily routine. However, a good night’s sleep is also essential to our overall health and wellbeing. Experts recommend adults sleep seven to nine hours each night; therefore, proper sleep ensures you feel well-rested and have energy for the next day. A good night’s rest also contributes to memory formation, helps grow and repair muscle and tissue, and prevents sickness. There are different types of sleep issues that people experience. For example, some people cannot fall asleep at night, and others wake up after only a few hours of rest. Here are a few of the most common types of sleep issues below. INSOMNIA. Insomnia means that you have a hard time falling or staying asleep throughout the night, which can impair your ability to stay awake during daytime hours. PARASOMNIA. May include walking, talking, eating while in bed, or making other disruptive sounds while sleeping at night. SLEEP APNEA. It happens when a person ceases breathing for short periods while sleeping at night. Sleep apnea does not necessarily occur consistently. However, this condition can be lifethreatening if the person stops breathing for more extended periods. 31
