Insomnia? Difficulty Falling Asleep? or Disturbed sleep... can have several causes.....

  3. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions such as chronic pain, asthma, acid reflux, and neurological disorders can interfere with sleep.

  8. Substance Use or Withdrawal: Alcohol, nicotine, and certain drugs can affect sleep patterns, either directly or during withdrawal.

  9. Shift Work or Jet Lag: Irregular work schedules or rapid changes in time zones can disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm.
