Insomnia, a word of Latin origin meaning "without sleep," or "sleeplessness."
Insomnia is a symptom of various diseases, especially such as involve the nervous system. The cure consists in removing the cause. If one who is in apparent good health suffers from insomnia he must determine for himself whether his trouble is a result of indigestion, of too much excitement, too little exercise, or of other trespass of nature's laws. In general it may be said sleeping in the open air, and learning to relax in body and mind are the best remedies for sleeplessness.
