Insomnia is a prevalent and tormenting condition that causes restless nights in millions of people every year. According to Science Daily, roughly 25 percent of Americans experience insomnia every year. Habitual sleeplessness can have several causes.

In these challenging times, when anxiety levels are raised, insomnia is likely even more rampant.
