Do you think Insomnia is a disease?

I could believe the theory about the strong thinking patterns. I have a tough time fallen asleep usually and will sometimes not be able to sleep when I try to. It could very well be a disease but I don't really know that many people are insomniacs as well.

Well I`m not really convince that its a disease but I just thought its one of the manifestation of a particular disease especially those with mentally ill persons (based from what I read in a column magazines). It also occurs most with those depressed and some chronic related disease like cancer, liver disease, etc and also with those people who are caffeine dependent pips.

I thank god for not giving me such problem, I have a very sound and nice sleep. But I know few people who don't sleep at night and stay awake till 4 or 5 in the morning, it's not that they never sleep, they just don't fall asleep at night. They are a kind of nocturnal animals They will stay awake whole night and then sleep during morning. It's a very bad schedule and affects your body health badly. Such people don't sleep because they might be nervous about some up coming exam or project or any similar task. Thats why they spend whole night preparing for it and finally when the mind and body can't take it any more, they give up and fall asleep. So, mostly it's just mental disease and no one can stay awake if that person has no tension and is completely relaxed and also tired after a whole day's work. Cheers!!

i think it is a mental disease. Mainly because of depression. sometimes if your body and mind is not tired, you may not get sleep at night.i remember during school, i had to stay awake to study for exams, and my mom used to give me hot tea or coffee to keep me awake and study. probably caffeine keeps ur mind alert

yes, I think Insomnia is a kind of health problem, something in your body that stops you from switching off and sleeping properly...
