Please use appropriate citation and reference from the readings and/or videos for this week’s topic.
Sleep is something when need to relate positive in our daily lives. After reading the material provided, I believe insomnia could be considered potentially abnormal. With three of the six abnormal behavior categories including emotional stress that lead to longer than normal behaviors, insomnia could influence our wellbeing of happiness (GCU, 2016). In addition, I believe that chronic insomnia could be potentially abnormal behavior due to many factors of having low emotional intellegence. For example, behavior thoughts, bad habits, anxiety or depression (What is insomnia?, n.d.). These sleep disorders are due to causes in our environment. At what point in our lives do we consider what we experience is abnormal when we are told these stressors are a part of “everyday life?”
