Definition of insomnia....me!
Inability to sleep, either difficulty getting to sleep, waking lots during the night or waking up too early in the morning.
Insomnia comes in three different forms: Transient insomnia - lasting for a few nights
Short-term insomnia - two to four weeks of poor sleep
Chronic Insomnia - poor sleep that happens most nights and lasts for a month or longer.
(hence me being here at 05:08 writing definitions)
Can cause physical side-affects and is often caused by some underlying mental cause ...most commonly; depression.

The disorder in which one falls asleep very late and awakens very early. Even though the person may desire sleep he or she is simply unable to find that sweet sweet state of dream-land until the wee (thats right, I said "wee") hours of the morning.
Ive had insomnia for the past four years, I dont fall asleep until around 5:30 and I wake up at 7:15.

Jackass: Man I slept so good last night after the concert, I was asleep as soon as I got in bed.
