Insomnia can be described as: difficulty or inability to fall asleep, waking throughout the night, restless sleep, waking in the early hours of morning with the inability to fall back asleep, and dream-disturbed sleep. Insomnia is considered chronic if it persists over a couple of months. Approximately one third of adults experience some sort of occasional or persistent sleep disturbance throughout their lives.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers insomnia a symptom and not a disease. TCM also breaks down insomnia into "true insomnia" and "transitory insomnia". True insomnia is mainly caused by prolonged emotional upset and stress, dreaminess, improper diet, excessive sexual activity, and a weak constitution following an extended illness. Transitory insomnia is usually due to external or temporary changes such as outside noise, weather changes, coffee and other stimulants, eating too late at night, and a recent emotional upset.
