Home / Insomnia: Is Insomnia Genetic?
Posted on January 21, 2008 in Latest News
The causes of insomnia are many. Now many studies report genetic factor influence insomnia. Studies also report that people with a family history of sleep disorders are at a risk of insomnia. On the other hand none of the studies gave a clear cut proof regarding the issue.
A study conducted at Canada’s Laval University School of Psychology finds a link between insomnia and genetics. The researchers surveyed around 1,000 adults: their sleeping habits, their parents and siblings’ sleeping habits. The researchers found many insomniacs with a family history which showed a genetic link of insomnia.
However researchers reported that it’s not clear whether insomnia is a genetic problem or a non- genetic problem. But they believe that some evidence is linked in between insomnia and family history of insomnia.
