1-800-therapistSleep Issues May Mess With Work Performance

“Forty percent of all patients with chronic insomnia have anxiety and depression,” Robert S. Rosenberg, DO, leading national expert in sleep medicine practicing at Sleep Disorders Centers of Prescott Valley and Flagstaff, told dailyRx News.

“This is an interesting study in that it focuses on work performance and exhibits how negatively insomnia affects it. We now have yet one more investigation that demonstrates the importance of addressing insomnia in mood and anxiety disorders. Previous studies have shown that if untreated, insomnia will result in a very high relapse rate of depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Rosenberg.
