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
