What causes Insomnia?
There are many
potential causes of insomnia, including sleep apnea,
snoring, bladder or prostate problems, stress or
depression.
People who are over 60 years
old and women going through the menopause are more prone
to insomnia, probably due to decreased levels of
melatonin in the brain.
Other causes
of insomnia include 'restless legs' syndrome (RLS),
magnesium or iron deficiency, hormonal imbalance,
shift work and excessive consumption of caffeine or
other stimulants.
Insomnia is also a side effect
of some prescription
anti-depressant medication.
It is thought that more than
50% of all cases of insomnia are linked to psychological
causes, including depression, anxiety and
stress.
Prescription sleeping
medication can be addictive and can
affect your ability to fall asleep naturally.
