Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. When you have insomnia, you might find yourself lying awake for a long time before falling asleep, or you might wake up repeatedly during the night. Sometimes, even if you do get some sleep, it might not feel restful.

​

There are two main types of insomnia: acute and chronic. Acute insomnia is short-term and often comes about because of life circumstances — like stress about an upcoming event or jet lag.

​

Chronic insomnia, on the other hand, is more long-term and persistent. We typically define it as having trouble sleeping at least three nights a week for three months or more. Various factors cause chronic insomnia, including stress, lifestyle choices, irregular sleep schedules, and mental health disorders like anxiety or depression.

For insomnia, TMS helps in a couple of ways. First, it stimulates underactive parts of the brain, which might contribute to your sleep issues. On the flip side, if overactivity in certain brain areas keeps you awake, TMS will help calm those areas down.
