Insomnia

So I have been doing some research on insomnia lately, and it is pretty interesting. For the past couple weeks I have been waking up in the middle of the night and not been able to fall back asleep. I have always thought of insomnia as being the result of a lot of stress, but I really don't feel stressed. There is a lot going on at work, but I don't think about it once I walk out the door. I decided to read up on insomnia to see if I could figure out what was wrong with me. Did you know that insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women then in men? I think it makes sense. Apparently hormone shifts are a common cause. Totally makes sense. One more fabulous symptom to look forward to each month.

The treatments sound like they all result in dependency, so I think I am going to just pray that I am able to get a decent amount of sleep soon.
