Abstract
Sleep disturbances are prevalent across the psychosis spectrum, including clinical high-risk mental states and chronic schizophrenia.
- Sleep issues are recognized as transdiagnostic risk factors associated with symptom severity and cognitive impairment.
- Types of sleep disturbances include insomnia, circadian rhythm disruption, altered sleep architecture, hypersomnia, and nightmares.
- Sleep disturbances may contribute to functional decline and increased suicidal risk among individuals with psychosis.
- Non-pharmacological and digital interventions targeting sleep have been evaluated as potential clinical outcomes.
- Integrating sleep-focused care into clinical pathways could enhance overall treatment outcomes, though further research is needed.
