Medical Reasons You Could Have Insomnia

 5.Dementia
Along with loss of memory, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can unsettle some people when you’d normally expect them to sleep, and they get restless. It’s known as “sundown syndrome” or “sundowning.” The person may be confused, anxious, restless, or aggressive around bedtime, and start to pace, rock, or even wander off. Sometimes this behavior fades, but sometimes it keeps them awake all night.

6.Pain
Whether from arthritis, chronic back issues, fibromyalgia, cancer, or another condition, pain can prevent you from peacefully drifting off or interrupt your rest. And to complicate the issue, sleeplessness can make pain hurt more as well, creating a cycle. You may need to deal with the symptoms separate from the illness that’s behind them.
