General topic	About Insomnia in general, what are the consequences, what should we do if we have it, how to improve our sleep, what are the treatments, Does it come from the genes ? Etc
Procedure/ what was examined	Researchers monitored more than 3,000 people over the course of five years. They found that of those who had insomnia initially, nearly 40 percent still battled it five years later. One in 10 Americans has insomnia
Conclusions/ discovery	They discovered that with the troubles that COVID 19 is causing, less people tend to sleep properly. People work from home on screens and it can change their melatonin level. Thus, insomnia is increasing in the mean population. Researches links poor sleep to type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and low immune function. They also found that 57 gene regions where associated with insomnia with an heritability factor of around 59 percent for women and 38 percent for men.
Remaining questions	Scientists are not quite sure if insomnia is totally a part of our DNA yet or if it is a more about an environmental factors.
