Research Notes on Bipolar Disorder and Sleep Disruption
Sleep disturbances are a symptom of both mania and depression in people with bipolar disorder. Disruption in sleep is a known trigger of manic episodes in bipolar patients. It is very important for bipolar patients to try to maintain a regular sleep pattern to help ward off those episodes. Recording sleep problems can also help warn of possible upcoming mood changes.1
Fast Facts:
- People with bipolar disorder are extremely sensitive to ambient light, making them wake more frequently.1
- Bipolar patients often experience insomnia.2
- One night of missed sleep can trigger a manic episode in bipolar patients.2
- People with bipolar disorder often have more sensitive sleep-wake patterns than those without the disorder.2
- Get answers about your sleeping problems direct from psychiatrists!
