A study headed by the University of Amsterdam identified seven genes linked with insomnia, suggesting that predisposition to the disorder may be inherited. These findings provide a path towards understanding and validating insomnia as a significant health concern.

Moreover, this hereditary link breaks the common myth that insomnia is solely a symptom of other conditions or is caused only by unhealthy sleep habits.
