Insomnia. Insomnia is the most common sleep problem. Women are more likely than men to report insomnia. In fact, according to the 2002 NSF Sleep in America poll, more women than men experience symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights a week (63% vs. 54%) and they are more likely to have daytime sleepiness.
Defamation is a tort, however, and a person can sue someone if he or she suffers injury because of that person's defamatory statements. Defamation can be a tricky area of the law because there is a fine line between freedom of speech and the right of a person to protect his or her reputation.
Hate crime laws are distinct from laws against hate speech in that hate crime laws enhance the penalties associated with conduct that is already criminal under other laws, while hate speech laws criminalize a category of speech.
