2. Causes of Sleep Problems
Factors that can cause sleep
problems are:
1. Physical (for example, ulcers)
2. Medical (for example, asthma)
3. Psychiatric (for example, depression
and anxiety disorders)
4. Environmental (for example, alcohol
use)

3. Causes of Sleep Problems
Genetics: Researchers have found a genetic basis for
narcolepsy, a neurological disorder of sleep regulation that
affects the control of sleep and wakefulness.
Night shift work: People who work at night often experience
sleep disorders, because they cannot sleep when they start
to feel drowsy. Their activities run contrary to their biological
clocks.
Medications: Many drugs can interfere with sleep, such as
certain antidepressants, blood pressure medication, and
over-the-counter cold medicine.
Aging: About half of all adults over the age of 65 have some
sort of sleep disorder. It is not clear if it is a normal part of
aging or a result of medications that older people commonly
use.
