A descriptive cross–sectional survey design was adopted, while Two–Way Analysis of Variance F–test was applied as the statistical tool to analyze the scores of the participants. The results revealed significant influence of job–related tension and employees rank on insomnia F(1,253) = 74.87, P < .001 level of significance and F(1,253) = 59.41, P < .05 level of significance respectively.
