Insomnia, Sleep Aids And Stimulants What is insomnia and what causes it? Insomnia means difficulty in falling or staying asleep, the absence of restful sleep, or poor quality of sleep. Insomnia is a symptom and not a disease. The most common causes of insomnia are medications, psychological conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety), environmental changes (e.g., travel, jet lag, or altitude changes), and stressful events. Insomnia can also be caused by faulty sleeping habits such as excessive daytime naps or caffeine consumption. Insomnia may be classified by how long the symptoms are present. Transient insomnia usually is due to situational changes such as travel and stressful events. It lasts for less than a week or until the stressful event is resolved. Short-term insomnia lasts for 1-3 weeks, and long-term insomnia (chronic insomnia) continues for more than 3 weeks. Chronic insomnia often results from depression or substance abuse. Transient insomnia may progress to short-term insomnia and without adequate treatment, short-term insomnia may become chronic insomnia. Among the medications and substances that can contribute to insomnia are caffeine and coffee, tobacco, alcohol, decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine), diuretics (Lasix/furosemide, Dyazide/hydrochlorothiazide) given at bedtime, antidepressants (e.g., Bupropion, Prozac), appetite suppressants (e.g., Meridia, Fastin), and amphetamines. Insomnia also may be the result of withdrawal from benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Librium, Ativan), alcohol, antihistamines, amphetamines, cocaine, and marijuana.
