About this Research Topic
Good sleep is mandatory to maintain a healthy mental state. Poor sleep is a risk factor for depression, anxiety, presenteeism, suicide, and any other mental health outcomes. Furthermore, circadian rhythm and its variation also have essential roles in mental health states, cognitive functions, and well-being. However, a lot is unknown about the association between sleep, rhythm, and mental health and how to improve them. The mechanism linking those factors, the effective interventions or the treatments of sleep or circadian rhythm disorders, and the related impairments, the prognosis factors of them, the translational research in this study area, and many others are required to be investigated.
The goal of this Research Topic is to contribute findings that can adapt to the real world or provide insight to promote sleep and mental health. Studies to be submitted to this Research Topic are required to have the usefulness and the applicability to the real world. The advantage of the study to public health, patients, other researchers, the healthcare system, certain communities, occupations, or societies should be mentioned.
In addition to interventional or observational studies, in vivo and in vitro studies are also welcome. Human or animal investigations that reveal the physiological or biochemical mechanism of the association between sleep and rhythm, sleep and mental health, or rhythm and mental health could be included.
Furthermore, COVID-19 and its aftermath have changed our sleep environment and sleep status, therefore investigations relating to sleep, rhythm, and mental health in the aftermath of COVID-19 are also encouraged.
This Research Topic welcomes original research articles, reviews, and case reports on themes such as, but not limited to:
• how to improve sleep and rhythm from a public health perspective
• investigations into the missing links between sleep, rhythm, and mental health
• revealing the physiological or biochemical mechanism of the above
• sleep, rhythm, and mental health and education or policy-making.
• sleep, rhythm, and mental health in the aftermath of COVID-19.
