Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep or getting enough sleep.
Frequent awakenings during the night or very early in the morning are also signs of insomnia. Insomnia can severely hamper activities, causing reduced attention, irritability and memory problems. What’s more, as they age, many people find it increasingly difficult to maintain their daily rhythm. They struggle to maintain the 24-hour cycle of a full day. Getting older can also lead to other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, pain and restless legs syndrome.
According to Statistics Canada, in 2016-2017, 6.4% of Canadians reported having been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The condition affects more men (8.8%) than women (4.0%), and its prevalence increases with age, reaching 12.8% among 60- to 79-year-olds.
However, the study also estimates that around 80% of Canadians with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, which would represent almost 5.4 million people potentially affected without knowing it.
