ABSTRACT
Sleep disorders are one of the most common complaints of patients who see a psychiatrist. Indeed, it is a known fact that mental disorders almost always include sleep disorders. Sleep disorders in psychiatric patients can manifest themselves in a wide variety of symptoms, such as great difficulty in falling asleep, inability to sleep continuously through the night, inability to get out of bed in the morning, and sleeping for many hours during the day. A woman suffering from prolonged sleeplessness can develop depression over time as a result of the sleep disorder, and conversely, a woman suffering from depression will also suffer from sleep disorders. The correlation between mental problems/disorders and sleep disorders is very clear in both sexes. One of the most characteristic signs of manic depression is changes in sleep; these are often the first to appear. In recordings of the sleep architecture in manic-depressive patients, a shortening of the dream stage is observed.
