Why Canadians can’t sleep at night

Canadians can’t sleep — one in three of us suffers from sleeplessness and one in 10 experiences chronic insomnia. The causes are multifold, says Judith Davidson, a sleep researcher and clinical psychologist at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont.

“Insomnia can be due to a loss, relationship stress, high stress at work, illness, or pain; the cause may also involve racing thoughts and worries, including worries about the effects of not sleeping.”

Our over-reliance on technology may also be keeping us awake: Exposure to the artificial light of televisions, computers and phones before bed enhances alertness and suppresses the release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin.
