This paper examined the statistical features of the alpha rhythm in the EEG signal of subjects with sleep disorders in comparison with conventionally healthy people. The experiment included subjects with insomnia and normal sleep patterns (as a control group). The experiment was a simple response to a audio stimulus. The response time to the stimulus correlates with the amplitude of the alpha rhythm in all subjects. It was shown that in subjects suffering from insomnia there are a number of statistical features for the amount of energy falling within the frequency range of the alpha rhythm in the EEG signal. The data obtained indicate that subjects with insomnia better retain their attention to the task at hand during the experiment and cannot relax even when recording a EEG signal before the start of the experiment (when the subject is at rest with closed eyes).
