Sleep Disorder

Sleep disorders are becoming an increasingly significant concern in society, with approximately 60-80 million individuals in the United States experiencing sleep or wakefulness issues. While there is no direct evidence linking sleep disorders as a cause of psychiatric conditions, there is a strong connection between sleep and psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia. Additionally, people with psychiatric disorders often face other sleep-related challenges, such as daytime sleepiness, nightmares, and fatigue. These issues are especially common in those with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Neuroimaging and neurochemistry studies suggest that adequate sleep is crucial for enhancing both mental and emotional resilience.
