Blue light is a one-way ticket to a bad night’s sleep Sleep problems can trigger a series of mental health issues, warns a new study. A new review of recent research evidence shows that trouble sleeping can cause or worsen a range of serious psychiatric disorders. It is important to understand how these factors interact so we can develop and apply sleep-circadian interventions that benefit the sleep and mental health symptoms of patients focusing on teenagers and young adults with psychiatric disorders. That is the time in life when people are most at risk of developing mental health disorders and when disruption to sleep and circadian rhythms are likely to occur. people with mood disorders have both insomnia and hypersomnia, where patients find it hard to sleep at night, but are sleepier in the daytime. Similar proportions of people with psychosis experience the same combination of sleep disorders. During adolescence, physiological changes in how we sleep combine with behavioral changes – such as staying up later, getting less sleep on school nights and sleeping in on weekends.
