Episode Details

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
