How Serious is Insomnia?
Most everyone with insomnia complain of attention and memory problems. They
also experience more irritability, make more mistakes on the job, and have
poorer relationships with their family than people who sleep well.
In addition to more daytime sleepiness, insomnia can affect you waking behavior.
You may have reduced concentration, perform tasks less adeptly, have a poor
learning curve. Where stress and depression can cause insomnia, it has been
shown that stress and the effects of it on the body can actually produce
emotional problems.
In the US, there are around 1,500 deaths from accidents caused by falling asleep
at the wheel. In fact, per some studies, driving when drowsy is as risky as drunk
driving.
But rest assured, insomnia is virtually never lethal except in rare cases. There is
one genetic disorder called fatal familial insomnia. In this rare degenerative
disease, the individual develops severe and unmanageable insomnia, which
eventually becomes fatal.
Insomnia definitely takes its toll on the body and lack of sleep does a lot more
than make us tired. It can even result in serious health problems. While there
are many signs to watch for to judge if you have insomnia, you may need
professional help to fully determine if you are suffering from insomnia.
