It says that insomnia is linked to increased risk of injuries. I tried to debunk their study but it seems they accounted for a lot of correlating factors including use of sleeping medications. Can someone explain to me how insomnia wouldn’t increase risk of injuries based on this study?

Thanks for sharing 🙂

I think the point here might be that this study did not find that insomnia *causes* increased risk of injury — association is not causation.

Interestingly, we don’t know how many study participants even had insomnia since the study classified insomnia based on self-reports of insomnia symptoms rather than medical diagnosis — and no consideration was made for sleep duration, either.

In any case, let’s say this study did find that insomnia causes an increased risk of injuries. What would that mean for you? How would that change things for you? How would it help you (or not help you)?
