11 Freaky Insomnia Causes No One Speaks About

The lack of sleep can put a lot of stress on both you and your mind. Not only does it affect your normal everyday responsibilities, but it can take a toll on your bodily functions as well. However, if you’re already experiencing difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early in the morning, you might already have insomnia.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can be caused by stress, poor sleeping habits, or having a strenuous schedule. Most people underestimate the negative effects that insomnia can do to the body, reasoning that they probably need more exercise or healthy eating habits. However, any doctor will tell you that if you don’t get enough sleep, exercise and good eating habits are pointless.

If you’ve been experiencing sleeplessness nights for two to three weeks, it might be time to identify what may be causing your insomnia. Here are 11 to start you off.

1. You go to bed too early

You probably think that going to bed early is a good thing. A lot of people try to share their hacks and tricks online on how to beat the clock and sleep an hour earlier. However, ninety percent of insomniacs are actually guilty of going to bed too soon.

Staying up late signals your body that you need more sleep. This is why we tend to get really sleepy when we’re still up by our usual bedtime. You can thank your homeostatic system for that.

While it sounds counterintuitive, sleep doctors actually have a formula to calculate the best time for you to sleep based on, surprisingly, what time you wake up. You start with your wakeup time, counting backward of around 6 to 7 hours. For example; if your usual wakeup time is 7:15 AM, your bedtime should be around midnight or 1:00 AM.
