Insomnia Predicts Increased Perceived Burdensomeness and Decreased Desire for Emotional Support Following an In-Laboratory Social Exclusion Paradigm

Insomnia is a common problem in the general population. Approximately one-third of individuals experience at least one insomnia symptom (i.e., difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early) at any given time (Morin et al., 2006). Not only may the experience of insomnia itself be inherently distressing (American Psychiatric Association[APA], 2013), but a growing body of research also indicates that insomnia is associated with a range of other negative physical and mental health consequences, including elevated risk for heart disease (Taylor et al., 2007), depression (Baglioni et al., 2011), and suicide (Bernert et al., 2015).
