In my experience, insomnia is a fairly common complaint among the population. Moreover, I've personally encountered this condition in the past.
This condition occurs due to a disturbance in a certain homeostasis in the brain.
Let's start with the simple: low glucose. Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with a raging hunger pangest? These attacks can also be preceded by nightmares. This is a clear example of hypoglycemia, when the brain lacks the energy to carry out the necessary processes during sleep. This can happen to women with anemia, diets, and medications that lower blood glucose. A person may sleep restlessly, but this is not true insomnia.
Moving on, circadian rhythm sleep disruption, or jet lag. When you get used to one period of daylight, and then fly to Indonesia and don't sleep for a couple of days (like I did 
), this happens because of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland. The brain adapts to darkness at a certain time of day and begins synthesizing melatonin, which has many functions, but among them, you know the one that puts you to sleep. When you change time zones, the brain's production of this hormone is disrupted and it needs time to adapt. This is normal; this type of insomnia usually resolves within a week at most, and even faster with melatonin.
Now let's talk about true insomnia.
It's a serious disorder of the central nervous system, indicating damage to certain areas of the brain. This is most likely due to neuroinflammation from autoimmune reactions, which in turn are triggered by viruses, vaccinations, toxins, and trauma . There are also genetic variants of sleep disorders, such as fatal familial insomnia. But in this particular post, we're talking about cases where a person had normal sleep, but some trigger (not entirely genetic) caused problems. Vaccinations can sometimes cause problems. For example, this was proven with the Pandemrix swine flu vaccine (which, by the way, like COVID, was also man-made). Approximately 200 children in Finland and Sweden developed narcolepsy after immunization (if you don't believe me, Google "pandemrix narcolepsy"). This is a condition where you suddenly fall asleep, regardless of the time of day. Interestingly, narcolepsy can be preceded by insomnia. This suggests that both insomnia and narcolepsy involve some common areas of the brain. Most likely, these are the thalamus and hypothalamus.
However, the Pandemrix situation didn't make pharmaceutical companies feel any better, leading to another, more global, stupidity, which you all know about. The essence of this stupidity is that in addition to the viral load, people also received an antigen (protein) from the trendy virus, leading to new autoimmune conditions, the details of which will only become known later.
It's also important to understand that viruses that attack the "deep" neurons of the central brain lead to behavioral problems, such as sleep disturbances, aggression, anxiety, and so on. It all depends on your immune system. For some, it's like a jeweler, quietly and precisely eliminating only the "bad stuff," while for others, the immune system is less fortunate and "hits the target area," causing severe inflammation.
The same is true for toxins. If detoxification systems function perfectly, neuronal damage does not occur, or occurs to a minimal degree.
So what should people with insomnia do?
First, find a specialist who accepts neuroinflammation as the primary cause of such disorders . They should determine the cause of your neuroinflammation and prescribe a protocol, which may include valavir, glutathione, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), luteolin, nattokinase, and other enzymes.
Taking medicinal sleep aids is not advisable for such conditions; these medications will not address the underlying cause. However, dietary supplements containing GABA and phenibut may be worth considering.
