There are really so many reasons that some people just can't seem to get good sleep. Sometimes it's as simple as the environment. If you were born and raised in a noisy city environment and you move to the country it might actually be the quiet that keeps you awake. We all tend to adapt to the environment that we are surrounded by. When that environment suddenly changes our daily rhythms change too. There is usually a period of chaos while we adapt to the new "normal" environment. During that adaption period sleep can be evasive. Stress and anxiety can also be causes for sleepless nights.
What is insomnia?
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep at night. It results in unrefreshing or non-restorative sleep. Different people need different amounts of sleep to function properly. That's why insomnia isn't defined by the number of hours that you spend in your bed with your eyes closed, it is defined by the quality of your sleep and how you feel when you awaken from your sleep.

Sleep, like good health in general, is something most people take for granted. As long as it’s coming easily, there’s just no reason to give it much thought. But for millions of people, a good night’s sleep is not as easy as it sounds. Its common knowledge that being deprived of a good night’s sleep leads to a diminished feeling of well-being for the next day. We don’t feel that we can function at our peak, and we feel more vulnerable to the effects of stress, both physical and mental when we spend a restless night "not sleeping".
Virtually everyone has experienced sleepless nights on occasion. Statistically one out of every three adults experience periodic trouble with sleeping. It is important that we are able to get the most deep and refreshing rest from our sleep. This will bring maximum vitality and rejuvenation to both mind and body.
Why Is Sleep So Important?
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.
The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health.
Did you know that sleep is more than rest and a body shutdown?
Studies show that a good night's sleep improves learning and overall performance. Good sleep is not just for kids. All of the things we've learned about sleep apply to both children and adults. It doesn't matter whether you're learning math or how to play the piano, a good night's sleep help you to be better, learn faster and retain what you learned. It doesn't matter if you're learning how to perfect your golf swing, or how to drive a car? You can enhance the process by just getting enough sleep. Sleep improves your problem-solving skills, decision making, attention span and even increases your creative/ artistic skills that sometimes hides behind the curtain of a sleepless night.
Does sleep has an effect on us in a physical sense as well?
YES!
Sleep plays an important role in your physical health.
Did you know that sleep is involved in the healing process? Much of the physical healing that takes place is when your body is at rest. The injured part of your body remains somewhat motionless and attended to by the nutrients needed to heal. Sleep is also involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. The lack of sleep has also been linked to obesity. There are conflicting opinions as to why obesity is related. One opinion is that sleep helps maintain a healthy balance of the hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). And that when those hormones are out of balance over eating might start you climbing the obesity ladder. Finally sleep affects how your body reacts to insulin, the hormone that controls your blood glucose (sugar) level. Sleep deficiency results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes.
Have you ever wondered what makes you sleepy? And why you wake and sleep?
There are a lot of things going on in your body that play a role in falling asleep an waking up. There is actually a rhythm at the base of it all. This rhythm is called the circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm usually resets every twenty four hours. Two processes interact to control the ebb and flow of a day. The first is influenced by a compund called adenosine. While you are awake the adenosine builds up in your brain. The increase of the compound is actually a precursor that signals you to sleep or in other words makes you feel tired. Once you have fallen asleep the body breaks down the adenosine and you start to feel the promptings to wake up.
There is another contributor. It is leterally an internal clock. This clock is in sync with certain cues in the environment like the light of the morning as the sun rises and the darkness that comes after the twilight hours. These cues signal your body to release chemicals in a daily rhythm that syncs up with the rising and setting of the sun. When it gets dark, your body releases a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin signals your body that it's time to prepare for sleep, and it helps you feel drowsy. As the sun rises, your body releases cortisol. This hormone naturally prepares your body to wake up. Amazing isn't it? Our body at work making sure that all of the health and well-being functions cycle through every single day.
