More About Insomnia and How Compoz® Can Help

Tossing and turning...the hours on the clock standing still…excessive daytime sleepiness…it happens to millions of people. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 56 percent of adults reported one or more symptoms of insomnia. Lost productivity due to sleeplessness has been estimated to cost the national economy as much as $100 billion annually. Lack of sleep can also have deadly results, such as fatal car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has estimated that more than 100,000 auto crashes annually may be fatigue- related. It has been reported that those who drive drowsy - primarily people under 25 - have caused an estimated 1,500 deaths as well as tens of thousands of injuries and lasting disabilities. The amount of sleep needed varies with each individual. Healthy adults generally need an average of eight hours of sleep per night. Some can get by on six hours of sleep. Lack of sleep can make even the most basic task seem exhausting. Constant fatigue, difficulty retaining information and lack of concentration can be problematic.

Here are the two degrees:

• Sleeplessness - Occasional difficulty sleeping usually due to too much caffeine or alcohol before bedtime, exercising late at night, irregular morning or nighttime schedules or trying to accomplish too many stressful activities before bed.
• Insomnia - Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up early. Can be brought on by anxiety, depression, stress, poor sleep habits or too much caffeine prior to bedtime. It can also be brought on from the pain of an underlying medical condition, hormone changes or side effects from certain medications. Those who work irregular job shifts and travel frequently across time zones may experience insomnia.

Stress is considered to be the number one cause of general sleeplessness. If you have occasional trouble falling asleep, consider a lifestyle change or seek an over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aid for occasional sleeplessness.
