How do we translate advances in sleep and circadian biology, into better understanding and treatment of mental disorders? In this PNAS perspective, we argue for longitudinal, real-world studies across the lifespan, that better integrate sleep and circadian traditions. Link👇

🚨 New funding alert! We're funding research into the role of sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions in anxiety, depression and psychosis. 💰 Level: Up to £3 million 💡 Duration: Up to 5 years 🗓️ Deadline: 19 October Find out more and apply ⤵️
Quote from Benny Prawira, Lived Experience Advisor reads: "I hope that we will not only reveal the mechanism of sleep and circadian rhythm in mental illness, but we will also have more accessible interventions."

Meyer et al review sleep disturbances in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Both conditions show longer overall sleep duration, as well as disturbed initiation, continuity, and reduced motor activity. Further development of transdiagnostic interventions is needed.

This is the meta-analysis that nearly broke me. Published open access in Sleep Medicine Reviews! Woot! bit.ly/2W0iu4m 1. Altering light exposure can improve sleep. 2. More studies should measure sleep. 3. Don't forget darkness is important too! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑
