Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder where people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep for as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. It may result in an increased risk of accidents of all kinds as well as problems focusing and learning. Insomnia can be short term, lasting for days or weeks, or long term, lasting more than a month. The concept of the word insomnia has two possibilities: insomnia disorder (ID) and insomnia symptoms, and many abstracts of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews often underreport on which of these two possibilities the word insomnia refers to.

ਅਨੀਂਦਰਾ ਜਾਂ ਉਨੀਂਦਰਾਪਣ ਨੀਂਦ ਦੀ ਬੇਤਰਤੀਬੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੌਂ ਸਕਣ ਜਾਂ ਮਨ-ਮਰਜ਼ੀ ਤੱਕ ਸੁੱਤੇ ਰਹਿ ਸਕਣ ਦੀ ਕਾਬਲੀਅਤ ਗੁਆ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
