This study estimated from a societal perspective the direct and indirect costs of insomnia. Participants and methods: A randomly selected sample of 948 adults (mean age = 43.7 years old; 60% female) from the province of Québec, Canada completed questionnaires on sleep, health, use of health-care services and products, accidents, work absences and reduced productivity. Data were also obtained from the Quebec government administered health insurance board regarding consultations and hospitalisations. Participants were categorized as having insomnia syndrome, insomnia symptoms or as being good sleepers using a standard algorithm. Frequencies of target cost variables were obtained and multiplied by unit costs to generate estimates of total costs for the adult population of the province of Quebec.
