Insomnia

Is it possible for sleeping disorders to be genetic?
I have always had on the little side of sleep, all my life. Sometimes I'll just stay up 40 hours, then go to sleep. (I have done, do, drugs. BUT, like I said, this has been all my life, since I can remember). I honestly do not mind it, I enjoy the night time, and I get a lot of house work done, but I realize it can be unhealthy.

My dad has had some sleeping disorders before. From insomnia when he was younger, to having sleep paralysis.
Did I get it from him?

i guess there are some types related to genes.

Most sleeping habits are learned or imprinted. Thus you picked them up while growing up. You can choose to modify them when ever you like.

first i found that when i quit using i went from not sleeping at all to a few hour a night.i know exactly why i don't sleep and and it was a learned behavior going all the way back to when i was 6.nobody in my family has trouble sleeping.genetics can lead to a number of different things but i have never heard it was genetic and i have seen sleep specialists.
