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.

    Too bad the paranoid won't accept the treatment against insomnia since they suspect another nefarious goal behind it. :-)
