While insomnia is broadly defined as a sleep disorder in which people have difficulty falling or staying asleep and experience some form of impairment the following day, people who have insomnia experience it in different ways. Some people have difficulty falling asleep, some are awake a lot during the night, and some wake up too early and cannot go back to sleep.1
In a 2008 poll, 64% of respondents reported they had had a sleep problem in the past month.1 Within this subset of respondents, sleep issues ranked as follows:
- Woke unrefreshed: 49%
- Awake a lot during the night: 42%
- Early-morning awakenings: 29%
- Difficulty falling asleep: 26%
