Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to get more information on insomnia and what it means. Does anyone have any experience with it or can provide me with some insight? Does it mean difficulty sleeping or is there more to it than that? What kind of treatment is available for insomnia? I'd really appreciate any help you can provide.
