The inability to fall asleep, called insomnia, happens to everyone once in a while. However, if sleep problems happen every night or continue for a long period of time, serious health problems can occur. For some people, not being able to sleep is a constant problem, while other people fall asleep more often than they should. As scientists come to understand the human sleep cycle and what can go wrong, they also have a better sense of how to treat sleep disorders. The Mental Illnesses and Disorders series lets readers know they are not alone, helping them make sense of commonly experienced problems as well as more specific challenges. Each book in the series, including Sleep Disorders, guides readers through the challenges faced by individuals with mental illnesses and disorders, and provides an inclusive approach to understanding their causes, symptoms, and treatment.
