Sleep Unplugged #63 - Sleep and Anxiety: Why Worry?

It's hard to have a full conversation about insomnia without bringing up the topic of anxiety, the most common psychiatric diagnosis in the world. Treating insomnia often means addressing anxiety. In this episode, we will:

-Introduce the concept and history of anxiety and sleep
-List the factors that along with anxiety, often influence sleep
-Think about the underlying mechanisms that relate sleep to anxiety
-Dissect the bidirectional relationship between sleep quality and anxiety
-Review the initial sleep interventions
-Explore the use of novel mechanisms for refractory anxiety/insomnia
