chronic insomnia
Long-term sleep deprivation
Chronic insomnia is persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting restful sleep, lasting three months or longer.
Unlike occasional sleeplessness from stress or jet lag, chronic insomnia becomes a recurring pattern that affects daily functioning: Her chronic insomnia left her exhausted and unable to concentrate at work.
The condition often requires medical intervention rather than simple lifestyle changes.
