There is no doubt that ever since the introduction of the industrial revolution, stress has increased tremendously, and sleep has directly proportional decreased with it. But what is lack of sleep? Simply put, lack of sleep is insomnia.

The only difference is that when you think of the term ‘lack of sleep’, you think of overworking, stress, and something that you can catch up on later. When you think of insomnia, on the other hand, you think of a disorder that needs to be treated. However think again, lack of sleep, is insomnia. When you can’t sleep, when you can’t get enough sleep,  you have a lack of sleep, or insomnia. Both are a condition in which you are not able to sleep properly, where you have a hard time falling asleep and also have difficulty in remaining asleep.

You will see that lack of sleep is more a bad habit than anything else. The fact that you cannot fall asleep is the result of several things that either you shouldn’t be doing that you’re doing, or vice versa, you should be doing which you don’t.
