Cover Story: Although insomnia is associated with anxiety, aspects of insomnia may differentially relate to different anxiety symptoms. Insomnia, however, is not a unitary construct, nor does it only manifest as a sleep disruption at night. This raises the question of whether specific features of insomnia have distinct implications for the severity or presentation of comorbid anxiety, as sleep disturbances and different insomnia symptoms correspond with different strengths of anxiety symptoms. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to think that some insomnia sub-constructs are more indicative of severity of illness and may be a useful marker for possible comorbidities. This is of importance as treatment for insomnia comorbidity with anxiety might be individually tailored to optimize treatment response. View this paper
