Causes of Insomnia
Sleeping difficulties are most commonly caused by stress and worry. Other common causes include physical illness that causes pain; environmental noise; caffeine, and medication side effects; depression and shift-work. Many people believe having a drink before bedtime can help you fall asleep. But experts say while alcohol is sedating, it doesnt help you stay asleep. Several hours later, when the alcohol leaves the bloodstream, it disturbs the sleep cycle and increases awakenings during the night.
Insomnia occurs more frequently in people over the age of sixty and the prevalence of insomnia may be 40% or higher for women over the age of 40. Sometimes anxiety and the inability to sleep dates back to childhood when parents used various threats to force their children into sleep for which they may not have been ready.
