You suffer from persistent sleeplessness if you can't fall asleep, stay asleep, or get
enough restful slumber. Over time, sleep troubles can lead to health problems like
diabetes, hypertension, and weight gain,
Many people dismiss sleep issues, thinking it isn't that serious. You don't need to
suffer from sleeplessness - the risks are real and help is available.
