What is it called when u can't sleep?

Lately, I've been struggling to fall asleep almost every night, even when I'm really tired. I lie in bed for hours just tossing and turning. What is the proper term for this condition?

It is called insomnia. Try avoiding your phone for an hour before bed, it really helps.

I think it is called insomnia, right? I have been struggling to sleep lately because of stress. Does drinking warm milk before sleeping actually help with this?

Medically, it is known as insomnia, which can be acute or chronic. My doctor told me that if it lasts for more than three weeks, it is best to consult a specialist rather than self-medicating with sleeping pills.

Hey, it is simply called insomnia. Don't worry, almost everyone goes through this when they are stressed about exams or work. Just try to listen to some soft music and don't force yourself to sleep, you'll be fine.

Haan, isko insomnia bolte hain, matlab neend na aane ki bimari. Aaj kal toh sabko hi ho raha hai phone ki wajah se, haina? Sone se pehle screen off kar diya karo, thoda farq padega.

It is called insomnia. My fitness band tracks my deep sleep and I noticed that having coffee after 4 PM totally ruins my cycle. Try using a sleep tracker app to find your patterns.
