Everyone has an occasional sleepless night. Most people at some point in life report having problems falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. A person may have sleep problems for many reasons. There is no magic cure-all for improving sleep. But by better understanding the different sleep problems, you can identify your issues and rest better at night.

Sleep is critical for our overall physical and mental wellbeing but getting enough high-quality rest isn’t always easy. If you’re a healthcare worker, you may not be able to implement many basic sleep hygiene recommendations due to shift work, high stress, or other crucial responsibilities.
