Why Managing Insomnia is Important
Sleep plays a critical role in restoring the body and mind. Insufficient or poor-quality sleep weakens the immune system, causes mood swings, and increases the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues and obesity. Addressing insomnia seriously is essential for improving long-term quality of life.
Managing insomnia is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Start by identifying personal causes and making basic lifestyle changes. If the problem persists, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
