Insomnia - Prognosis
While short-term insomnia is disruptive to a person's natural balance, it can usually be solved by the methods described, and is therefore not considered a serious condition. However, chronic insomnia may lead to some serious secondary problems. If not treated, long-term sleep disturbance may lead to injuries due to lack of concentration, or possibly to a weakened immune system, which leaves a person at risk for infection or disease.
