Insomnia or sleep disorder?

Insomnia and sleep disorder are both conditions related to sleep. The main difference between the two is the duration and severity of the problem.
Insomnia is a common sleep problem in which people have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or getting up after a night of sleep. It can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability and other health problems. Scientific research has shown that insomnia is a serious and common problem that can significantly affect quality of life.
A sleep disorder is a chronic sleep problem that persists for more than a month. It can include problems falling asleep or staying asleep, as well as other sleep-related problems such as sleep apnea and nocturnal movements. Sleep disorders can affect quality of life and health and should be treated by a physician or sleep expert. Our Deep Sleep gummies can be a perfect solution for you!
