Behavioral Factors or Medication Side Effects
People who have the habit of using their phones at night often sleep late. Studies have shown that excessive use of the phone during bedtime hours can affect the quality of sleep. Also, some behavioral problems that started since childhood may last up until adulthood, which becomes difficult to change. Bedtime resistance, prolonged sleep onset, or night wakings are some of the common childhood behavioral problems [5] that can cause insomnia.
Some medications can hinder [6] your ability to sleep. Drugs to correct high blood pressure (hypertension) and respiratory illnesses can affect the body’s ability to rest. Drugs for seizure and hormone control can also tamper with rest quality.
