Abstract

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death in all age groups from ages 10-34. Identifying risk factors for suicide in these age groups--especially those that may be amenable to intervention--may represent an opportunity to reduce the societal impact of suicides. Sleep disruption (variously defined, including just being awake at night ) has emerged as a key risk factor for suicide, associated with a 2- to 3-fold increase in risk. Clarifying this relationship and identifying potential points of intervention may serve to reduce this risk.
