Insomnia causes often stem from circadian rhythm disruptions, where late-night light exposure delays melatonin onset and weakens sleep pressure accumulation. Poor sleep hygiene and inconsistent bedtime routines can further reduce sleep quality, making it harder to fall and stay asleep.Natural sleep aids and structured bedtime routines help restore balance by supporting the body’s internal clock.
