Abstract

Insomnia, anxiety, and sadness are all linked in adolescence, according to the research. Anxiety and depression disorders are common and are linked with undesirable consequences. Objective: To better understand the interconnection between sleeplessness, anxiety disorders, and major depression in a community-based sample of adolescents. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at The University of Lahore, Lahore, during 4 months. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data from 100 students through convenient sapling technique. SPSS version 21.0 was used to store and analyze the data. Results: The results revealed that insomnia is not common in mostly students but they have sleep issue due to exam disturbance and their diet. Late night phone usage is also a major cause in this study. Many students are worried about their current life situation and mostly have snore and choking issues due to worries. In general, the link between sleeplessness and depression was stronger and more constant in patients with serious depression than in those with depression symptoms. Conclusion: Adolescent insomnia has a significant impact on future health and functioning, and it is thought to cause and perpetuate a variety of emotional and behavioral issues, notably anxiety and sadness
