Thwarted belongingness as an explanatory link between insomnia symptoms and suicidal ideation: Findings from three samples of military service members and veterans.

  • Three studies utilizing self-reported data examined whether thwarted belongingness (i.e., the feeling that one does not belong) explained the link between insomnia and suicidal ideation. Results supported this link among three different samples of Service members and Veterans, suggesting that Service members struggling with issues of insomnia who feel like they don't belong may be at an increased risk for suicidal ideation. Therefore, efforts to reduce sleep issues and thwarted belongingness among Service members may reduce the risk of suicidal ideation.
