Abstract
Sleep disturbance is implicated in various adverse outcomes for individuals with bipolar disorder.
- The sleep-wake cycle is vital for quality of life in children, adolescents, and adults with bipolar disorder.
- Sleep disturbance is associated with increased risk for relapse and affects emotional and cognitive functioning.
- Poor sleep is linked to health issues such as obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
- Impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors may be exacerbated by sleep disturbances.
- Future research should focus on enhancing sleep measurement quality and considering the effects of bipolar medications.
