Why it matters

Persistent insomnia frequently co-occurs with depressive symptoms, and clinicians need evidence on whether treating insomnia yields durable mood improvements. This meta-analysis confirms that CBT-I provides sustained reductions in depressive symptoms for up to 12 months, supporting its role as a foundational intervention in patients with comorbid insomnia and low mood.
