[citation href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6879516/" title=Neuropsychopharmacology" desc="Sleep, insomnia, and depression"]Some studies show that insomnia is an independent predictor for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and depressive disorders.

Research also indicates that sleep disturbances in people with bipolar disorder vary from stage to stage of the illness. During the mania phase, they need less sleep and report difficulties falling and staying asleep, and during the depression phase, they often experience severe insomnia.
