\nYou may have a higher risk of insomnia because of your age, family history and genetics, environment or occupation (work), lifestyle, stress or worrying about sleep, or your sex.
\nInsomnia can occur at any age but your chances of having it increase as you get older.
\nYour genes may raise your risk of insomnia, as insomnia sometimes runs in families. Your genes may also affect whether you are a deep or light sleeper.
\nThe following can disturb your sleep\u2013wake cycle:
\nLifestyle habits can raise your risk of sleep problems.
\nStress or worrying about school or work, relationships, money, or the death of a loved one raises the risk of insomnia.
\nWorrying about whether you will get enough sleep and monitoring the clock can also raise your risk of insomnia or make it worse.
\nInsomnia is more common in women than in men. Feeling uncomfortable and experiencing hormone changes during pregnancy and menopause can cause problems with sleep.
