Insomnia

Daytime naps can put you in a vicious cycle of sleeplessness. The body only needs a certain amount of sleep. If you nap during the day, you will probably be too wakeful in the evening for your body to easily get to sleep or stay asleep. Your sleep is likely to improve if you eliminate daytime naps.
