I think that there are some additional reasons why college students suffer from insomnia. For example, dorm rooms and multiple roommates may not necessarily create the best conditions for sleep. As well, many students are too busy to take care of themselves or may be struggling with all the big changes (such as moving away from home) that are common during college years. I am happy to see meditation classes and yoga options on many campuses today – these are good ways for students to care for themselves and fight insomnia. There are also many good tips and resources online -- Belleruth Naparstek, for example, has a blog with tips for handling insomnia.
