Sleep Matters:

Abstract

In the fast-paced world we live in, where hustle culture often glorifies sleep deprivation, the significance of a good night's sleep is frequently overlooked. However, recent research has shed light on the intricate and bidirectional relationship between sleep and mental health. This study investigates the intricate connections between circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and mental health, emphasizing their bidirectional relationships and exploring interventions for positive outcomes. Robust associations underscore the significance of considering circadian disruptions in mental health assessments. Irregular sleep patterns and insufficient light exposure highlight the importance of promoting healthy sleep habits. The study provides valuable insights into the complex interplay among circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, and mental health challenges, laying the groundwork for targeted interventions. Recognizing wearables and apps' effectiveness showcases their potential in revolutionizing personalized interventions and early detection strategies. In conclusion, this study offers evidence-based recommendations for individuals, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to promote circadian health and enhance overall wellbeing.
