Sleep is necessary for every person in order to be active, energetic, and healthy. During sleep, the brain processes new information – unnecessary information is forgotten, and useful information is remembered. In addition, sleep is important for the immune, nervous, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems.
Unfortunately, many people have certain sleep disorders, which in some cases provoke serious diseases.
Common sleep problems:
1. Difficulty falling asleep.
2. Unsound sleep.
3. Early awakening.
At first glance, it seems that stress at work, mental and physical exertion should tire a person so that he should “sleep like a baby”. In fact, this is not always the case. People often suffer from insomnia.
One of the most common reasons is excessive mental workload. This is a stress factor that negatively affects the hormonal system.

4. Chronic stress.
5. Using gadgets before going to bed.
