Causes of INSOMNIA / myLot

I have read several discussions concerning sleeping disorders or sleeplessness problems and I can't help wondering why this kind of problem is getting popular nowadays. I have had this problem too several years ago, and I even panicked at the thought of suffering from such disorder until I grow old. However, I never gave up finding ways to overcome it. I did all sorts of things like: visit gyms, go for long walks, swimming, dancing, and a few other tiresome activities. Now, I no longer have sleeping problems but what's ironic is that- I can't even remember how I managed to get away with it. IS INSOMNIA caused by physical problems or something? or is it more like... psychological....

I have had this problem as well. My husband can lay down and go right to sleep. For me it takes me forever unless I take one of those over the counter sleeping pills. I belive that when we lay down our mind starts to go thru the day we just had or what we need to do the next day. Too much things on the mind nowdays. If we could just shut the mind down I think we all could sleep much better.

Insomnia can cause by different sleeping patterns, like you are adjusting. It can be because of stress or too much thinking. Exercising is the best option. I am not good at this one. I did suffer from Insomnia before because I always sleep late when I graduated in college, then it resume for about a month, but when I received my first employment and going home always being tired, me being insomniac passed. Some people have severe cases that they have to drink sleeping pills to help them to get to sleep. I never went on to that.
