Insomnia: Your mom needs to be seen by a sleep specialist. Does she have difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep. If she dreams at midnight it could be non rem sleep behavior which is called parasomnias, that is sleep talking akin to sleep walking. Hope she does not act out her dreams. Causes of insomnia are many and includes anxiety, depression, panic attacks, circadian rhythm disorder etc.
