Yes. Clinical and experimental studies consistently demonstrate that insomnia and sleep disturbances are closely linked to elevated symptoms of anxiety, depression, irritability, and cognitive or memory deficits.

The analysis

The claim specifies that insomnia leads to negative emotional (anxious, depressed, irritable) and cognitive (trouble focusing, learning, remembering) outcomes. Multiple retrieved papers directly link sleep issues and insomnia to depression, anxiety, psychological distress, irritability, and cognitive impairment (e.g., Papers 0, 4, 10). There are no papers contradicting these findings.
