Insomnia is a significant predictor and risk factor for depression, with studies showing individuals with insomnia are up to 10 times more likely to develop the disorder {fact:1, fact:2, fact:8}. This relationship is supported by evidence of shared pathophysiological mechanisms, including overlapping neural pathways in limbic structures and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation {fact:4, fact:5, fact:6}.

claimInsomnia is associated with depression, acting as both a risk factor for and a manifestation of the condition (Ford and Kamerow, 1989; Livingston et al., 1993; Breslau et al., 1996; Weissman et al., 1997; Chang et al., 1997; Ohayon and Roth, 2003; Cole and Dendukuri, 2003).

claimOne hypothesis for the link between insomnia and depression is that chronic insomnia increases activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which contributes to depression (Perlis et al., 2005).
claimTreating insomnia may prevent some cases of depression, though limited data are available to support this possibility (Riemann and Voderholzer, 2003).
measurementThe adjusted odds of developing depression for individuals with a history of insomnia were 3.95 (95% CI, 2.2–7.0).
claimResearchers hypothesize that insomnia and depression may be linked by common pathophysiology involving overlapping neural pathways for anxiety, arousal, and/or circadian disturbance, as suggested by Benca (2005b).
measurementThe adjusted odds of developing a psychiatric disorder following a history of insomnia were highest for depression, with an odds ratio of 3.95 (95% CI, 2.2–7.0).
measurementA longitudinal study of 1,007 young adults at a health maintenance organization found that a history of insomnia at baseline predicted the new onset of depression and other psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and nicotine dependence, over a 3.5-year period.
referenceFava M identified daytime sleepiness and insomnia as correlates of depression.
referenceA 1997 study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology titled 'Insomnia in young men and subsequent depression' found a link between insomnia in young men and the subsequent development of depression.
claimIndividuals with insomnias associated with depression exhibit abnormal activity in neocortical structures responsible for controlling executive function and modulating behavior related to basic arousal and emotions, according to Nofzinger et al. (2004a, 2005).
claimInsomnia worsens clinical outcomes in patients with depression, schizophrenia, and alcohol dependence.
claimOne hypothesis for the link between insomnia and depression is that common neural pathways involve the amygdala and other limbic structures of the brain (Nofzinger et al., 2005).
