Overview

A sleep disorder is a condition that disrupts the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or obtain restorative sleep, or that disturbs the normal sleep-wake cycle. Common forms include insomnia, sleep apnea, circadian-rhythm disorders such as delayed sleep phase syndrome, and parasomnias, and they may arise from stress, medical and psychiatric conditions, lifestyle factors, or biological dysregulation. Sleep disorders affect daytime functioning, mood, and long-term health, making their assessment and management an important area of clinical and population research. Within the journal's scope, research has examined sleep and its disturbances using both subjective and objective methods, including subjective and objective actigraphic sleep monitoring in patients with night eating syndrome, the genetics and cultural context of delayed sleep phase syndrome in Brazilian and Japanese adults, obstructive sleep apnea in relation to cervical osteophytosis, and non-pharmacological interventions for disrupted sleep in dementia. Related work on the endocannabinoid system explores circadian rhythms and sleep regulation. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to sleep disorders, supporting clinicians, sleep researchers, and students interested in the measurement, causes, and management of disturbed sleep.
