This, the researchers say, suggests that insomnia may either raise the risk of future anxiety problems, or be a sign that a person is particularly vulnerable to developing anxiety symptoms. In general, the researchers found, people with chronic insomnia during the first survey were more likely to have anxiety disorder symptoms during the second survey ā” as were respondents who had insomnia during the second survey only. This suggests that, in some people, insomnia could signal a current anxiety disorder, or be a risk factor for developing anxiety down the road, according to Neckelmannās team. However, Neckelmann said, while this study suggests that insomnia may be a risk factor for anxiety, itās not yet clear whether treating insomnia lowers the odds of future anxiety disorders.
