Article Synopsis
- Sleep is essential for mental and physical health, and its disturbances are linked to psychiatric disorders, particularly in anorexia nervosa (AN), where the connection is not well understood.
- A systematic review analyzed 67 studies on sleep in patients with AN, revealing significant differences in sleep patterns compared to healthy controls, such as reduced total sleep time and efficiency, increased wake after sleep onset, and altered sleep stages.
- The findings indicate that sleep issues in AN are significant, and simply restoring weight may not improve sleep quality, highlighting the need for treatment strategies that address these sleep disturbances.
