Insomnia moderates the association between psychotic-like experiences and suicidal ideation in a non-clinical population: a network analysis.

ABSTRACT: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) have been associated with poor sleep quality and increased suicide risk. However, the association between PLEs, insomnia and suicide risk has not been thoroughly investigated in prior studies.
