Insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are the two most common sleep disorders. Insomnia is a known risk factor for incidence and severity of depression, recurrence of depressive episodes and even suicide. Several studies have also shown that OSA can contribute to the development of depression. Insomnia and OSA often co-occur, but previous research has not addressed the interactions. Could this co-occurrence be associated with worse depression?
