A large research review links insomnia with higher risks of stroke, hospitalisation, depression and dementia, though it cannot prove causation. Treating persistent sleep problems as a health warning may support wellbeing and workforce readiness.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain how insomnia may affect brain and mental health.
  • Discuss sleep health as a contributor to workforce readiness.
  • Differentiate observed health associations from proven causal relationships.
