Insomnia & Nutrition

Insomnia affects 35% of the population, and can have many causes. Common causes of insomnia include stress, an irregular sleep schedule, poor sleeping habits, mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, physical illnesses and pain, medications, neurological problems, and specific sleep disorders.
