Key Signs & Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder

Insomnia

Sleep disturbances are highly related to anxiety disorders. In these cases, you might wake up during the night or have difficulty falling asleep. Some studies have suggested that experiencing insomnia when you were young might link to having anxiety later. However, it is still unclear whether anxiety causes insomnia or insomnia causes anxiety or both. What is currently confirmed is that insomnia usually improves when the underlying anxiety is treated.
