Insomnia is a condition that you can't sleep for long periods of time, most can't sleep at all. It can be caused by stress or depression.

Sleeping problems, called insomnia, can take several forms:
* Difficulty falling asleep when you first go to bed at night
* Waking up too early in the morning
* Waking up frequently throughout the night
All types of insomnia can lead to daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and the inability to feel refreshed and rested in the morning.

hi asker,

insomnia is lack of good quality sleep during night leading to numerous sleeping problems like waking up too early, waking up off and on throughout night and restlessness.

and for more on insomnia, you can read this information that will surely benefit you :

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.

At least three types of insomnia exist:
1. Transient insomnia lasts from days to weeks. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation. If this form of insomnia continues to occur from time to time, the insomnia is classified as intermittent.
2. Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months.
3. Chronic insomnia lasts from months to years. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include sleepiness, muscular fatigue, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness.
