WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Insomnia is a common medical disorder where people find it difficult to fall, or stay, asleep. 1 out of 3 people at your organization could be struggling with some form of insomnia on a nightly basis. People of all ages are susceptible to insomnia, although it is more common among older adults and women. Insomnia can occur for short periods of time – for instance a day or two - or the condition may be chronic and last for weeks, months, and even years.

A variety of physical and psychological factors as well as lifestyle choices can cause insomnia, including:

• Persistent stress
• Lack of exercise
• Sleep apnea
• Restless Leg Syndrome, or RLS (often confused with PLM, or Periodic Limb Movement)
• Heartburn
• Alcohol
• Caffeine or other stimulants
• Depression
