The study included 885 undergraduate students aged 18-25 in the southwestern United States. The participants completed questionnaires on sleep, suicide risk, mental health, and substance use. The results showed that 40.1% of individuals reported lifetime suicidal ideation, with 19.4% reporting suicidal ideation in the last 3 months and 26.7% having attempted suicide in their lifetime. The study also found that sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. Insomnia was identified as the best predictor of recent suicidal ideation, but this relationship did not survive adjustment for other factors. The study concluded that sleep continuity, quality, and sleep disorders are broadly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors among college students.
