IS INSOMNIA GENETIC?

The journal Sleep has published a study that found a link between genetics and insomnia. People who inherit a specific gene are more prone to suffer from sleeplessness, according to the study. Scientists have long hypothesized a link between genetics and insomnia, but this is the first study to back up their suspicions. If you're having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor to discover if you have this gene. Although there is no cure for insomnia, there are therapies that can help alleviate its symptoms.
