“…This implies that sleep disorders are a common feature of psychiatric disorders. It is similar to findings by other researchers such as Homiball et al [56] who reported 40.75%. The finding also hints at a possibly strong link between sleep problems and psychiatric disorder, which has been studied by many [29,57].…”

“…The 6.0 % prevalence of narcolepsy is higher than the range reported by Longstreth et al which put it at 0.025%-0.05% [21] Prevalence of narcolepsy in recent years has varied with regions of the world studied and methodology as has been the case with other sleep disorders. Homiball [56] who reported 12.5% prevalence for narcolepsy symptoms compared to 10.9% in our study. This is higher than the 6.0% we found for narcolepsy disorder.…”

“…The prevalence rates reported in the study for sleep complaints are higher than for sleep disorders, and are not different from those reported by some other studies [56]. This suggests that while many people may not meet the requirement for a sleep disorder they may have sleep complaints that should be detected, treated and monitored to avoid worsening.…”

Introduction: Sleep disturbances amongst those with psychiatric disorders are quite common and may occur as a primary disorder or in association with psychiatric or organic disorders. Aim: To study the pattern and prevalence of sleep disturbance among psychiatric outpatients and to study sociodemographic characteristics associated with hypersomnia and narcolepsy in this population. Methods: It was a cross sectional descriptive study of consecutively, serially recruited, consenting patients attending the psychiatry outpatient clinic attending a teaching hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, over a ten week period. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. The information required was gathered by using the sleep 50 questionnaire and designed socio-demographic questionnaire. Results: Schizophrenia was the most common diagnosis among the subjects (35.9%) followed by major depression (24.5%). Thirty-seven percent of the subjects had at least one sleep disorder; with some having more than one sleep disorder concurrently. The subjects with sleep disorders were mostly young adults (60.3%), single (52.9%), unemployed (60.3%), and female (52.9%). Noise at night was more associated with those who had sleep disorders. Sixteen patients (8.7%) had hypersomnia sleep disorder, while 6.0% had narcolepsy disorder. Of those with narcolepsy, major depression was most prevalent (27.3%), while for hypersomnia schizophrenia was most prevalent (50.0%). Conclusions: The study provides useful data on narcolepsy and hypersomnia among psychiatric patients, with the finding that prevalence rates for both justify the need to improve diagnosis to avoid missed cases.

“…Sleep disturbances, including hypersomnia, insomnia, or irregular sleep patterns, result in various cognitive impairments and mood disorders (1,2). Prolonged sleep deprivation or chronic sleep abnormalities are risk factors for the major depressive disorder (MDD) (3) and bipolar disorder (BD) (4), whereas disturbed sleep appears as a key symptom of mental diturbances (5, 6). Mechanisms connecting sleep deprivation and mood disorders remain, however, unclear.…”

Editorial on the Research Topic Sleep And Mood DisordersSleep occupies almost one third of our life and it is necessary for survival of all species, including man. There is little doubt that sufficient, restorative sleep plays a critical role in maintaining physical and mental health. Evaluation of a good sleep always includes its quality, timing, quantity and rhythm. Sleep disturbances, including hypersomnia, insomnia, or irregular sleep patterns, result in various cognitive impairments and mood disorders (1, 2). Prolonged sleep deprivation or chronic sleep abnormalities are risk factors for the major depressive disorder (MDD) (3) and bipolar disorder (BD) (4), whereas disturbed sleep appears as a key symptom of mental diturbances (5, 6). Mechanisms connecting sleep deprivation and mood disorders remain, however, unclear.The current Research Topic represents a collection of papers investigating the relationship between sleep abnormalities and mood disorders, as well as studies analyzing potential mechanisms connecting these pathologies. As described in the review by Steardo et al., the worldwide prevalence of sleep disorders is about 50% with even higher occurrence in psychiatric population. Sleep abnormalities are frequently associated with BD and are often a good predictor of a mood disorders. In this review, the alterations in the structure or duration of sleep are considered in all stages of BD. In particular the role of neuroglia in BD and the contributions of the different types of glial cells to BD and sleep abnormalities are discussed in depth. Specially, astrocytes are suggested to have an important role to the pathophysiology of BD through the loss of glial support and neuroprotection in disease-specific regions (7,8). Furthermore, neuroglia cells are also reported to be a key target for the drugs used for the treatment of BD.In the article by Li Y. et al., the relationship between stressful life events and sleep quality is discussed. The effects of stress on the sleep quality was investigated on more than 1,000 college students from a single province in China high correlation between scores of stressful life events and sleep quality has been reported. These results demonstrate that stressful life events can disturb the sleep quality of college students directly and indirectly, through rumination. The latter is defined as a response style that an individual tends to repeatedly think about the problematic situations being focused on negative emotions (9). Increasing psychological resilience could decrease both the direct and indirect effects stressful life events.

“…disorders self-report symptoms of a sleep disorder (Hombali et al, 2018). A recent systematic review of sleep disorders in early psychosis has suggested that sleep disturbances may be associated with symptom severity and elevated rates of both help-seeking and suicidality (Davies, Haddock, Yung, Mulligan, & Kyle, 2017).…”

Aim: To investigate sleep behaviours of youth at-risk for serious mental illness (SMI).Methods: This study included 243 youth, ages 12 to 25:42 healthy controls, 41 asymptomatic youth at-risk for mental illness (stage 0); 53 help-seeking youth experiencing distress (stage 1a) and 107 youth with attenuated syndromes (stage 1b). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep dysfunction. Results: Stage 1b individuals indicated the greatest deficit in global sleep dysfunction (F = 26.18, P < .0001). Stages 1a and 1b reported significantly worse subjective sleep quality, a longer sleep latency, increased use of sleep medications as well as greater daytime dysfunction compared to the asymptomatic groups.Conclusion: Research investigating sleep behaviours of youth considered to be atrisk for SMI is limited. This study provides early evidence that sleep disturbances are worse for individuals considered to be at higher risk of illness development.
