Results show that the genetic influences on insomnia symptoms in adults were substantial and largely stable over time while differing significantly by sex.
In the longitudinal model, the estimated heritability of insomnia was 59 percent for females and 38 percent for males."
"This study indicates that genes may play a larger role in the development of insomnia symptoms for women than for men,
