Please check the following sentences. Thanks!


1. All of us have experienced insomnia, so we want to know the reason of it, and how it will influence our health.

2. We want to let more people realize how insomnia happens.

1.
All of us have experienced insomnia, so we want to know why it happens, and how it will influence our health.

We don't generally "let people realise" anything. People realise things for themselves. I'm also not sure about "how insomnia happens". For sentence 2, I would use something like "We want to help more people understand why insomnia happens".
