What are the dangers of insomnia?

Insomnia, while not a danger itself, can cause certain situations to be dangerous. For example, if someone is not sleeping well has a job where he or she must be driving for long periods of time, sleepiness due to insomnia could cause them to fall asleep at the wheel. This danger crosses over to working with dangerous machinery, or caring for other people, for example.

Insomnia can cause depression or anxiety, and other health issues. Lack of sleep can cause some disorders or diseases to get worse.
