Insomnia – from the Latin insomnis, that translates to “not sleeping”: in meaning “no” and somnis meaning “sleep.”

I think that sums it up nicely – no sleep. If you’re an insomniac you know just what I’m talking about – no sleep. If you’re not an insomniac you can only imagine – because you do sleep.

Apparently 10-15% of the general population suffers from chronic insomnia, which is defined as

inadequate quantity or quality of sleep characterized by a subjective report of difficulty with sleep initiation, duration, consolidation, or quality that occurs despite adequate opportunity for sleep, and that results in some form of daytime impairment and has persisted for at least one month.
