Description

INSOMNIAYR indicates whether sample adults and (in 2007 only) sample children age 3 to 17 had insomnia or trouble sleeping during the past 12 months. The question for sample adults in both 2002 and 2007 asked if individuals "regularly" had insomnia or trouble sleeping during the past 12 months; the question for sample children in 2007 only asked if the sample child "had insomnia or trouble sleeping" during the past 12 months.

Comparability

This variable is completely comparable over time for sample adults age 18+. However, the different question wording for sample children and sample adults in 2007 may limit the comparability of this variable across the two broad age groups of age 3 to 17 versus age 18 and older.
