Sleep is one of the most important parts of our everyday life. We need a good night’s rest after a busy day, and sometimes, we find it difficult to get enough sleep even after the day’s running. There are different reasons people find it difficult to get a good Night’s sleep. While some find it hard to sleep because they are anxious over a matter, some find it difficult to sleep when they are excited over an event coming up. Aside from this, some people experience sleeplessness due to sleep disorders like:

#1 Insomnia

#2 Sleep Apnea

#3 Narcolepsy

#4 Restless Leg Syndrome
