Different Types of Insomnia You Should Know

Insomnia is not a single condition but exists in various forms like acute insomnia, chronic insomnia, onset insomnia, maintenance insomnia, and terminal insomnia. Each type has different causes—stress, medical conditions, anxiety, hormonal changes, or irregular sleep habits. Acute insomnia lasts a few days or weeks, while chronic insomnia persists for months and requires structured treatment. Onset insomnia affects one’s ability to fall asleep, while maintenance insomnia causes frequent night awakenings. Understanding these types helps in choosing the right Ayurvedic treatment plan that brings long-term relief and restores healthy sleep patterns.
