I have been dealing with insomnia for some time now, and it's taking a toll on my life. I'm starting to worry if insomnia is actually dangerous. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm looking for advice on how to cope and if I should be concerned about the health risks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
