Insomnia can affect anyone! It is not specific to one ethnic group because it can affect anyone that sleeps. Although it is far less common in children from ages 1-13.
Females are actually 1.4 times more likely to suffer from insomnia over males. This is mainly because of hormonal changes during the menstruation cycle, which affects their sleep patterns.
