I totally agree with you on this matter Susianti. It is true that Insomnia is a symptom of several sleep disorders and it is also characterized by persistent difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. So guys, by definition, we can say that Insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep" which it may due to inadequate quality and quantity sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.

for our information, insomnia comes from the latin words for no sleep. insomnia characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, waking up too early and poor quality sleep. that is some information i found from my research in the internet.

Thanks, Pn Fuzirah.

Every person varies in how much sleep they need. Some people get by with less sleep than others, yet are satisfied with their functioning the next day.

With insomnia, your sleep feels inadequate or poor-quality. You don’t feel refreshed in the morning. You may have had difficulty falling asleep. Or you woke up frequently during the night, with difficulty returning to sleep. You might wake up too early in the morning. You suffer the next day -- you’re tired, have little energy, can’t concentrate, and you’re irritable.

Insomnia can be classified as transient (short-term), intermittent (on and off), and chronic (long-lasting). Insomnia lasting from a single night to a few weeks is referred to as transient. If episodes of transient insomnia occur from time to time, the insomnia is said to be intermittent.
Insomnia is chronic if it occurs on most nights and lasts a month or more.
