Insomnia and sleep apnea are comorbid disorders, but they're not always the same. If you have one condition, the other may affect your life in other ways. In this article,  we'll discuss comorbidity, treatments, and symptom management. And, we'll cover how  to recognize the difference between sleep apnea and insomnia.    Comorbidity  ​ There is a comorbidity between sleep apnea and insomnia, and both conditions are  associated with high rates of mortality. Research found that of the 63 people who were  diagnosed with both conditions, 63 (68%) were female, and 29 (32%) were male.  People with sleep apnea also had an increased risk of hypertension. These findings  are particularly alarming given that the condition affects more than a million people  worldwide.  Researchers have found that a higher risk of all-cause mortality was associated with  comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea among older adults. This increased risk was  statistically significant in both groups, and was found to be greater in people with  cardiovascular disease and hypertension. In this study, 5236 participants from  population-based studies underwent home-based polysomnography recording between ...
