Explanation

Having trouble sleeping can be frustrating and might be due to different reasons. Some people have sleep-wake rhythm disorders, which means their body clock is not in sync with the typical day-night cycle. According to research, vitamin B12 might help adjust these rhythms to improve sleep.

Another common cause of sleep problems is anxiety. Anxiety can make it hard to relax and fall asleep. Studies show that insomnia can increase anxiety and even lead to depression. To manage these issues, it's important to find ways to reduce anxiety, such as relaxation techniques or talking to a professional.
