Recognizing Insomnia Symptoms

Insomnia symptoms can extend beyond just a pattern of sleepless nights that cause you to be tired and irritable during the day. Symptoms also may include a myriad of other serious health indicators that are directly related to sleep deprivation.

Mood Swings
If you get easily upset, angry, frustrated, or sad - or feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster - you could be suffering from lack of sleep.

Poor Coordination
If you are feeling unusually clumsy and frequently drop drop things, bump into objects, or have difficulty with everyday tasks, insomnia could be to blame.

Memory Problems
If you always seem to be forgetting things, losing items, or drawing that "mental blank," poor sleep could be preventing your brain from storing and organizing memories properly.

Are you having trouble concentrating on work tasks or other daily activities? If so, insomnia could be the root of the problem.

Anxiety or Depression
Sleep deprivation can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression, as the chemical balance of your brain is disrupted by poor sleep patterns.

Physical Symptoms
While less common, symptoms of insomnia may also include ongoing headaches, high blood pressure, and unexplained weight gain.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, visit with your doctor for an evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. If the quality and quantity of your sleep is compromised over time, your health and well being may be at risk.
