- A study surveyed 4,037 Canadian adults to estimate the prevalence of insomnia and the use of sleep aids, finding that 16.3% reported insomnia, with higher rates among women, Indigenous peoples, and those with poorer health.
- About 14.7% of respondents used prescribed sleep medications in the past year, while 28.7% used natural or over-the-counter options, 15.6% used cannabis products, and 9.7% used alcohol for sleep.
- The results emphasize the widespread issue of insomnia in Canada and the need for public health initiatives and effective treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy to improve sleep health.
