Irregular Sleep Pattern and Mood

By: Joshua Roland, MD, FAASM

It is fairly intuitive that mood and sleep have a bidirectional relationship.  When we sleep poorly, we are more likely to not be in our best disposition and have a compromised emotional threshold the following day.  We also know anxiety, stress, and depression can contribute to having a more difficult time sleeping.  The literature has by in large supported this, and it is not a huge surprise that more data is coming out validating and defining the relationship between sleep and mood.
