Several factors contribute to the non-practice of breastfeeding such as the inadequacy or lack of breast milk, women have work to do and that there is complimentary feeding available. Cultural issues also affect the program. For instance, Christians do not want their babies breastfed by Muslims. Limiting activities in bed may condition the mind to react in a certain way every time one hits the sack.

Insomnia is the inability to sleep or even sleep satisfactorily.
Older persons are more prone to experience insomnia. People who worry about not having a good night sleep often get insomnia. Excessive caffeine, smoking before bedtime, excessive napping in the afternoon or evening, irregular or continually disrupted sleep or wake schedules also cause insomnia. Dr. Ivanhoe Escartin of the DOH-NMP explained that insomnia may be transient or short term, lasting from a single night to a few weeks. Transient or intermittent insomnia occurs in people who are temporarily experiencing stress, environmental noise, extreme temperatures, jet lag or medication side effects.
