Could defective drywall be the cause of your insomnia?

by Martin Reed on 28 April 2011 in insomnia causes

Here’s another reason why it’s so important to consider your home environment when trying to figure out the cause of your insomnia.

Eleanor Aguilar purchased her home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2007. She noticed a smell coming from a bedroom closet; the developers told her it was simply a ‘new home’ smell. For the next couple of years, Eleanor started suffering from migraines, sinus infections and insomnia.

It turns out that Eleanor’s home was built with defective Chinese drywall. The high-sulfur drywall is believed to corrode copper and cause electrical problems.

Now, there’s no concrete evidence that the defective drywall is to blame for Eleanor’s insomnia – but it hardly sounds like a healthy home environment, does it?
