[Insomnia and anxiety].
The paper reports a trial of finding correlations between the level of anxiety, regarded as a consistant personality trait measured by means of the so-called personality scale, and difficulties in falling asleep. It was found that the greatest difficulties in falling asleep were observed in individuals with medium level of anxiety. The interpretation of this observation is discussed.
