Alarming Triggers of Insomnia

Chronic Pain

Any health issues which make you feel uncomfortable could understandably disrupt a sleep pattern. Fibromyalgia, acid reflux, low back pain, and arthritis, and other painful conditions would make you wake up consistently during the night. In most cases, losing sleep would make your pain worse. Fortunately, you can visit a doctor to ask for some OTC or prescription painkillers to seek immediate relief. However, make sure to stay away from those medications that might cause insomnia as a possible side effect. [7]
