Insomnia — the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep — affects more women than men, and older people more than younger ones.

The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute says people at increased risk for insomnia include those who:

• Are stressed.
• Are depressed or have emotional health issues, such as those going through divorce or the death of a spouse.
• Have lower incomes.
• Work at night or have frequent changes in work hours.
• Travel across time zones.
