Episode description

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

Produced by: Maeve Winter
