Whilst not exactly about Insomnia, an interesting recent study from Belgium suggests that text messaging is becoming a cause of poorer sleep quality in children.
In the group of 16 year old children, 20.8% wake up 1-3 times in a month, 10.8% wake up at least one time in a week, 8.9% wake up many times in a week and 2.9% wake up every night.
Children were asked how often they woke up during the night because of incoming text messages. There seems like a relatively simple answer to resolving this, but it is another example of environmental factors which can impact upon the quality of your night’s sleep.

This is a very interesting kind of study. Indeed, children these days aren’t able to have healthy kind of sleep because there are many distractions they encounter, not just texting, but also internet and online gaming.
