Emotional upheaval because of the loss of someone close, pressure at work or examination scare, a disturbed personal life can trigger stress leading to insomnia. Transient insomnia begins with light sleeplessness, but stress and emotional instability can turn it into chronic insomnia.
2. 2. Diet and medication, A person's diet plays a crucial role in determining his/her health. So, if your intake of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol is high right before your bed time then chances of you getting affected by insomnia stress disorders is higher as these are all stimulants.
