“…Psychiatric disorders and disordered sleep-wakefulness or circadian rhythms are frequently associated, often with bidirectional relationship as in the case of insomnia and depression [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Insomnia occurs in over 90% of patients with clinical depression [ 36 ] and is an established risk factor for depression (odds ratio for developing depression: 6.2) and relapsed depression in treated patients [ 37 ].…”

Background: Professional truck drivers (TDs) are exposed to stressful working (and living) conditions and are vulnerable. They report physical and mental health problems and psychological distress more frequently than the general population and their problems can affect safety on the roads. Actions to improve TDs’ health and reduce the risks of (co-)morbidity or unsafe driving are imperative. Methods: The published studies dealing with the TDs’ sleep habits and mental health were reviewed to define the scenario and organize the preventive strategies proposed thus far. Results: Awareness among TDs of the high risk for health and safety due to (often co-existing) untreated sleep and mental health problems is critical. Alcohol and prescribed or illicit drugs are often misused to compensate for depression, anxiety, job strain, fatigue, and social isolation. Polypharmacy and dependence increase the chance of unsafe behaviors on the road. The TDs’ access to healthcare services is scant, and participation in industry-sponsored wellness programs is limited. Conclusions: Primary prevention is a first unavoidable step to deal with sleep and mental health problems. Educational programs, online support and tele-health assessment/monitoring would help improve the well-being, safety and health of professional TDs and increase safety on the road.

“…Patients who experience major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders often have comorbid sleep difficulties [ 7 ], and patients who complete CBT for depression and anxiety often still have elevated sleep problems after treatment [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Sleep problems such as insomnia have been associated with an increased risk for developing medical and psychiatric disorders [ 11 , 12 ], and a bidirectional relationship has been found between insomnia and depression [ 13 ]. In a population-based prospective study examining the relationship between insomnia and depression [ 14 ], individuals who had insomnia at baseline were at an increased risk of developing major depressive disorder (OR: 6.2), and those with major depressive disorder at baseline were at an increased risk of developing insomnia (OR: 6.7).…”

Patients seeking transdiagnostic internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (T-ICBT) for anxiety or depression often have sleep difficulties. A brief resource that includes sleep psychoeducation and strategies for improving sleep (e.g., stimulus control and sleep restriction) may address comorbid insomnia without the need for an insomnia-specific ICBT course. This observational study explored patient use and feedback of a brief sleep resource available to all patients (N = 763) enrolled in an 8-week T-ICBT course. Overall, 30.1% of patients (n = 230) reviewed the resource and were older, more engaged with the ICBT course (i.e., more likely to complete the program, more logins, and greater number of days enrolled in the course) and had higher pretreatment insomnia symptoms than those who did not review the resource. Resource reviewers did not report larger improvements in symptoms of insomnia than non-reviewers, even among patients with clinical levels of insomnia, and average insomnia levels remained above the clinical cutoff at posttreatment. While patients were satisfied with the resource and it was beneficial to some patients, more research is needed to further explore how it may be integrated into T-ICBT and how therapists can encourage the use of the resource among patients who may benefit from the resource.

“…Insomnia not only affects cognitive function and emotion regulation but is also strongly associated with several related neuropsychiatric disorders [ 38 ]. Depression and insomnia have a bidirectional relationship [ 39 ]. In a 40-year longitudinal follow-up study of medical students, it was found that individuals with baseline insomnia were twice as likely to develop the major depressive disorder than those who did not [ 40 ].…”

Understanding insomnia as systemic disease

Sleep plays a critical role in homeostasis of the body and mind. Insomnia is a disease that causes disturbances in the initiation and maintenance of sleep. Insomnia is known to affect not only the sleep process itself but also an individual’s cognitive function and emotional regulation during the daytime. It increases the risk of various neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety disorder, and dementia. Although it might appear that insomnia only affects the nervous system, it is also a systemic disease that affects several aspects of the body, such as the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems; therefore, it increases the risk of various diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and infection. Insomnia has a wide range of effects on our bodies because sleep is a complex and active process. However, a high proportion of patients with insomnia do not seek treatment, which results in high direct and indirect costs. This is attributed to the disregard of many of the negative effects of insomnia. Therefore, we expect that understanding insomnia as a systemic disease will provide an opportunity to understand the condition better and help prevent secondary impairment due to insomnia.
