In the largest randomized control trial for mental health, researchers discovered a link from insomnia to paranoia and hallucinations. Successful treatment of insomnia cut paranoia and hallucinations by around half. While the researchers don't extend similar links as existing outside the studied population, the correlation is quite clear and strong that treatment of insomnia could lead to improvements in other mental health symptoms in other populations.

    Apparently listening to your patients is the new hot thing in medicine.

    But... but... listen to us doctor, read our lips... 8 hours/day of sleep won't let all my personalities manifest enough and they'll become angry; I'm used with some of them being out to get me, but some may even come to get you.
