Summary

Sleep disorders can be understood as conditions which either affect the quality, duration or timing of sleep, or present with unusual sleep-related behaviours. These are often associated with an impact on daytime functioning. In this section we look at the main groups of sleep disorders, followed by a review of the role of sleep in psychiatric conditions and the effect of psychotropic medication on sleep.
