Is insomnia caused by a lack of sleep or does insomnia cause a lack of sleep?

Answer 1

Insomnia is characterized by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and nonorganic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder. It is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it.

Answer 8

Absolutely. Used to work long weekend, night & rotating shifts & would suffer sleep deprivation. It was in a hospital so I had plenty of experts to ask. Told the "depression" was most likely ust feeling crappy from loss of sleep and stress, common & not necessarily clinical depression. Certain it can make depression worse. Got better when I had regular hours. That was just me. Always best to see an MD.
