Sleep deprivation is a serious issue that can lead to various health problems, including an increased risk of suicide. Interrupted sleep due to OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) can also be considered as a form of sleep deprivation. Individuals with insomnia and OSA are at a higher risk of suicidal ideation and behavior associated with an increased risk of suicide.

Sleep deprivation caused by any etiology, such as various insomnias, emotional disruptions, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders winds up causing similar deleterious outcomes, such as suicidal ideation and attempts. All sleep disorders can be complex and pathological.
