[Sleep health as a marker and target for health interventions in psychiatric disorders].

Abstract

Psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorder) are characterized by complaints of insomnia or hypersomnolence associated with sleep disorder (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) or an inappropriate sleep behavior (e.g. irregular sleep-wake cycle). These complaints, disorders, and behaviors define sleep health, a new public health concept that includes six dimensions: duration, regularity, temporality, efficiency, sleep satisfaction and daytime alertness. Sleep health is often impaired in psychiatric disorders, with numerous genetic, biological, anatomical and psychological arguments underpinning this interaction. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health show efficacy on the symptomatology and prognosis of these psychiatric disorders. The aim of this review is to analyze the place of sleep health as a marker and preferred therapeutic target of health in psychiatric disorders. The impact on more general mental health are not addressed.
