Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or waking in the middle of the night and staying awake, if this problem continues for more than a month is called chronic insomnia. Most of the cases of insomnia are related to normal day to day worries and tension or simply to caffeine consumption.
Some Natural Cures
Here are some natural and effective ways to say good-bye to sleeplessness:
