Low GABA Levels. One of the main causes of sleep maintenance insomnia results from low levels of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) called GABA. GABA is your main relaxing and tranquillising brain chemical.
Therefore, we sleep specialists now refer to the association as âcomorbid,â or existing alongside, rather than âsecondary,â which implies one condition causes the other. So someone might have insomnia comorbid with depression, but it does not necessarily mean that the depression caused the insomnia. The depression might have resulted from the insomnia, or be unrelated. Treating the âunderlyingâ diagnosis may not alleviate the insomnia.
