Insomnia can come in a variety of forms. For example some are unable to reach the deep dreamless sleep where the brainwaves slow down to 4 or less hertz per second. This deep dreamless sleep is of utmost importance for restoration, not only physical but mental and emotional as well.

Others may wake up repeatedly during the night, disturbing the normal cycle from light sleep (dream phase) to deep sleep (dreamless phase) The person may not remember waking up during the night when they get up the next morning.

And then we have those who get up so early in the morning they never really complete the natural, normal sleep cycle which is crucial for our physical and mental wellbeing.
