Insomnia question

Someone emailed me a question on insomnia recently - copied below in case anyone finds it useful:

'Hi Mrs Watson,I'm redoing the exam question on insomnia and I was wondering, what are the explanations for insomnia? I just want a list of them so that I can be sure that i'm on the right track.'

'Hi,
This is a good question as it's not immediately obvious. The explanations are ways to explain insomnia i.e. the primary/secondary distinction (plus implications for treatment; use the Ohayon & Roth study) and the precipitating/perpetuating/predisposing way of describing insomnia, leading onto diathesis-stress. Just make sure that you put in lots of research.
Mrs Watson'
