>> reporter: they can't sleep. >> are you waiting for the diner to open? go back to bed. they'll have pancakes at 7:30. >> reporter: but why is it so hard to sleep here? some theories: louisville has a huge u.p.s. hub. a lot of people work the overnight. they're obviously not sleeping. there's a giant construction project blocking a major bridge. forcing commuters to spend hours in traffic when they should be in bed. and that's not the only stress. louisville ranks high in unemployment and divorce. but then of course there are folks like miners. >> i'm one of those people who does wake up about 3:30 in the morning. i don't know why. but i start tumbling through what i'm going to do theñi next day. >> reporter: we've all been there occasionally. but what if it were night after night? you put on your jams, turn out light, hop into bed and nothing no matter how many sheep you assemble and count you simply cannot fall asleep? a sunday morning poll found half of all americans have trouble sleeping at least once a week. and more than a third more often than that. >> these are people with insomnia. they have the time to sleep but can't sleep. three or more times per week a month or longer. >> reporter: psychologist wendy of the university of pittsburgh sleep center says 20 to 30 million american adults suffer true insomnia. how do they stand it? i mean there's nothing worse. >> yes. we have all experienced this once or twice or around stressful times. but when you think about what it's like to experience it nightly over months and months and years and years. it is truly crazy making. >> reporter: as shown in this demonstration, doctors at the center hook people up to monitors and study their brains while they sleep. what they found is eye opening. >> we bring them into the lab. they may say they didn't sleep at all. we'll have data that suggests that they did sleep. this doesn't mean that they're lying though. it just means that their experience of sleep is part of the problem even when we objectively show that they're sleeping it still doesn't feel like sleep. >> this is actually a comparison of people with insomnia and good sleep. >> reporter: her colleague dr. daniel bysee says insomniac brains are hyper aroused. while the brain of a good sleeper shuts down at night, an insomniac's brain is always on. no matter what time of day. >> it could actually be that when people with insomnia report being aware of their environment, being awake all night, they may actually have increased activity in some brain region to fight the electrodes on their head appearing to be asleep. >> reporter: all that brain activity comes at a price. a recent harvard study found that insomnia costs the u.s. work force $63.2 billion annually. >> you know that people with insomnia have worse functioning at work. there have been some studies that show they have more sick days and higher health costs. that increases the risk for subsequent conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, even substance abuse. >> reporter: it's enough to keep you up at night. that goes double for women. >> women are twice as likely to have insomnia as men. >> reporter: and the studies have shown a nightly battle of the sexes can claim plenty of casualties. >> what we do know is that a sleep problem in either partner causes relationship problems for both. >> reporter: which in a vicious vikeal then causes more sleep problems. >> and you're lying next to a partner that may actually cause anxiety. that would likely disrupt sleep. >> reporter: somebody you're angry at. >> exactly. >> reporter: have you been able to quantify the idea that good relationships make for good sleep? >> women who are higher in marital happiness have significant lae lower risk of having insomnia as compared to women who are unhappily married or unpartnered women. >> reporter: the quest for that elusive sleep leads right to the medicine cabinet. americans spent roughly $2 billion on sleep aids last year, filling some 60 millionxd prescriptions. how would you describe americans' relationship to sleeping? >> i would describe it as a love-hate relationship. there's this kind of mystical quality in many americans' minds about the power of sleeping pills. >> reporter: despite the fact she says that sleeping medications do not do what people think. >> they are not going to knock you out. they kind of tip you over. to natural sleepiness but they will not take you from a state of wide awakefulness to sleep. >> reporter: 30-year-old jamie says she tried sleeping pills and everything else for the insomnia that has plagued her since high school. >> definitely there's anxiety involved. almost feeling of dread at night because i would anticipate waking up and being tired and not being able to fall asleep at all hours of the night. >> reporter: she is sleeping much better today thanks to the doctor. but at first his approach baffled her. >> he recommended minimizing the time i spent in bed. i didn't understand how this was going to work because i felt i needed to be in bed a longer time so i could get enough sleep. but what he did was move my bedtime later. i had a specific wake-up time as well. but it definitely has helped my body to get on a cycle. >> reporter: you're basically that sleep deprivation can be used to treat insomnia. >> exactly right. >> reporter: and when compared with sleeping pills, that actually works better long-term. >> make them stay awake a longer period of time so it just pushes the level of exhaustion. >> i like to think of it as increasing their sleep drive, increasing their natural sleep drive. >> reporter: but if that sounds like torture to you, you can always just move your bed, say, to honolulu. honolulu, the city now ranked number one as the best place in the country for a good night's sleep. >> sleep is such a good thing. a good night of sleep feels so good. a good night of sleep affects everything. >> osgood: just ahead introducing pop songer florence and her machine. give me voice control. applications up. check my email and text messages. hands in position. airbags. ten of 'em. perfect. add blind spot monitor. 43 mpg, nice. dependability. yeah. activate dog. a bigger dog.
