Depression and sleep disorders are interrelated mental health problems that have a significant impact on the quality of life of the community. This study aims to analyze the relationship between depressive symptoms and sleep disorders in the adult population in Indonesia using data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI). This study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach based on secondary data, involving 596,589 respondents aged ≥18 years. Analysis was performed using logistic regression to estimate the odds ratio (OR). Results showed that respondents with depressive symptoms were 20.2 times more likely to experience sleep disorders than respondents without depression (OR = 20.206; 95% CI: 19.492–20.945; p < 0.001). Age was also significantly associated with sleep disorders (OR = 1.014; p < 0.001). The model was significant overall (p < 0.001), with a pseudo-R² of 0.112. These findings confirm that depression is a strong predictor of sleep disorders in the adult population. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrated screening for depression and sleep disorders in nursing care, particularly in primary and community services.
