9.Digestive Problems
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD) are also linked to sleep problems. Some 55% of people with GI problems say they have insomnia. That’s compared to 20% of those without GI issues. We don’t know whether this is because digestive symptoms keep you up, because sleep loss makes GI problems worse, or both.
10.Medications
Drugs for allergies, heart disease, hypertension, thyroid problems, and depression — especially SSRIs like fluoxetine (Prozac) — might cause insomnia. Meds for ADHD and Parkinson’s disease can also keep you up, along with the pseudoephedrine found in many over-the-counter decongestants. Check with your doctor about adjusting or changing your medication if you think it affects your sleep.
