Sleep disorders are becoming more prevalent. The use of drugs can cause side effects that lead to poor sleep. And older people suffer from more sleep-related medical and mental conditions. The good news is that all of these sleep problems can be handled effectively. Good sleep at any age is possible. 

Insomnia is a disorder in which the individual suffering from it struggles to fall asleep or stay asleep. Remember, good sleep defined being able to fall asleep into good, healthy sleep as taking up to 30 minutes, and falling asleep after waking up to take as long as 20 minutes. However, when you suffer from insomnia, even that is an impossibility. You may find that you cannot fall asleep at all. You could feel like, for example, you want to sleep, and you need to sleep, but the sleep will just not come, no matter how long you try. 

When you suffer from insomnia, you frequently find that many other areas of your life also suffer greatly. You can feel like you struggle to concentrate on those around you. You feel like you lack good, healthy energy. You feel like you cannot keep up with conversations, or you feel like you are too emotionally unstable or snappy to deal with people effectively. The vagus nerve functions as the body’s superhighway, taking information between the brain and the internal organs and controlling the body's reaction in times of relaxation and rest.
