Sleep is essential not only for our physical well-being but also for our mental well-being. Researchers, however, have determined that specific alterations in sleep patterns do exist among patients with psychiatric illnesses. The causes of these abnormalities include both direct and indirect mechanisms. These abnormalities lead to declines in both cognitive function and quality of life. Management should include both nonpharmacological and pharmacological methods. This article will review the types of sleep abnormalities associated with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders and will additionally review treatment options available for each illness.

Key Words: Sleep • disturbances • schizophrenia • anxiety • depression • bipolar disorder • implications • types
