Discussion
Another type of insomnia is the midnight insomnia. People suffering of this type of insomnia go to sleep without problems but they wake up around 2-3 a.m. and can not go back to sleep any more. Of this type of insomnia suffer mostly people who have a depression or rough thoughts on their mind.
