Insomnia which is thought of a disease or disorder when most of it is psychological. Insomnia happens to those who negatively condition themselves to having bad sleeping beliefs and thinking habits to keep them awake. People with insomnia usually take sleeping pills for sleep which do have medication but can be seen as a psychological placebo effect. Insomnia is mainly the inability to get to sleep or enough sleep though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown to improve sleeping habits in those who have insomnia.
