Insomnia
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get restful sleep even when you have the opportunity to rest. It can lead to daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and reduced overall functioning. Insomnia may be short-term or chronic and is often linked to stress, anxiety, depression, or other underlying conditions. At Iowa Psychiatric Care, we provide personalized, evidence-based care for insomnia through secure telehealth across Iowa.
