Can you explain the meaning of organic as in "organic insomnia"? How does it differ from "non-organic insomnia"? The medical dictionary did not help.

If the insomnia is caused by a physical change in the structure of an organ, such as the brain or thyroid, it is called organic insomnia. If the insomnia is caused by drinking too much coffee, we say it is non-organic insomnia.
