Anxiety disorders are the most frequent psychiatric disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 29% in the general population. Anxiety-related hyperarousal can often lead to persistent circadian rhythm and sleep disturbances. Patients affected by anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias, often manifest sleep disturbances or complaints. Sleep disorders/disturbances are commonly associated with anxiety: impaired sleep can damage neurocognitive performance and increase daily anxiety. Restoring a correct circadian rhythm is essential and basic. The study of multiple relationships between sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms is of considerable importance in medical practice.

Abstract

Anxiety disorders are the most frequent psychiatric disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 29% in the general population. Anxiety-related hyperarousal can often lead to persistent circadian rhythm and sleep disturbances. Patients affected by anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias, often manifest sleep disturbances or complaints. Sleep disorders/disturbances are commonly associated with anxiety: impaired sleep can damage neurocognitive performance and increase daily anxiety. Restoring a correct circadian rhythm is essential and basic. The study of multiple relationships between sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms is of considerable importance in medical practice.
