Summary

Sleep disorders are prevalent, disabling, and deleterious to an array of physiologic systems. Given the intricate relationship between sleep, cognition, and emotional regulation, it is not surprising that complaints about sleep are especially frequent in the psychiatry clinic. It is incumbent on the clinician to identify potential sleep disorders, as treatment can have substantial benefits for both physical and mental health.
