Being overweight means having excess body fat that results in a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9. It increases the risk of various health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Causes include poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and certain medical conditions. Managing weight involves adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise, and behavioral changes to promote a healthier lifestyle.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep. It can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and impaired performance in daily activities. Causes of insomnia include stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep habits, medical conditions, and certain medications. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and avoiding caffeine before bedtime, to cognitive behavioral therapy and medication when necessary.
