Insomnia is almost always associated with fatigue and mood disturbances such as irritability and dysphoria. The unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of sleep can lead some individuals to present with irritability, tension, helplessness or even depressed mood. Longitudinal studies have suggested
that untreated persistent insomnia may even be a risk factor for developing major depression (e.g., Ford & Kamerow, 1989). Sleep loss in insomnia can thereby cause considerable distress, impact on professional and social functioning, and decrease quality of life. In turn, these emotional disturbances
may contribute to insomnia patient’s feelings of fatigue, decreased performance, and mood alterations.
