• Insomnia is highly prevalent in psychiatric patients • It has consequences: Daytime impairment, risk of future psychiatric and medical disorders, and others

N=580. Ford DE, et al. JAMA. 1989;262(11):1479-1484. Additional Information • Sleep study negative for OSA (AHI < 5) • Sleep/wake pattern – Reads, watches TV until bedtime – Bedtime 10 PM – Sleep latency 1–2 hours – Wakes up 4–5 × @ 10–30 minutes – Has a midnight snack – Can’t fall back to sleep after 4:30 AM – Lies in bed until 6 AM (9–11 AM on weekends) • 3–4 drinks with dinner • 2 espressos to stay awake in the afternoon

AHI = Apnea-Hypopnea Index; OSA = obstructive sleep apnea. The Dos of Sleep Hygiene

• Get OOB at the same time every morning • Increase exposure to bright light during the day • Establish a daily activity routine • Exercise regularly in the morning and/or afternoon • Set aside a worry time • Establish a comfortable sleep environment • Do something relaxing prior to bedtime • Try a warm bath

OOB = out of bed. Hauri PJ. In: Hauri PJ, ed. Case Studies in Insomnia; New York, NY: Plenum; 1991:65 The Don’ts of Sleep Hygiene

Avoid… • Alcohol • Caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants • Exposure to bright light during the night • Exercise within 3 hours of bedtime • Heavy meals or drinking within 3 hours of bedtime • Using your bed for things other than sleep (or sex) • Napping, unless a shift worker • Watching the clock • Trying to sleep • Noise • Excessive heat/cold in room

Hauri PJ. In: Hauri PJ, ed. Case Studies in Insomnia; New York, NY: Plenum; 1991:65 . Effect of Blue Light Blocking on Sleep Psychological and Behavioral Treatments for Primary Insomnia

Techniques Method

Stimulus control therapy* If unable to fall asleep within 20 minutes, get OOB and repeat as necessary

Relaxation therapies* Biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation Restriction of time in bed Decrease time in bed to equal time actually asleep and increase as sleep efficiency improves (sleep restriction) Cognitive therapy Talk therapy to dispel unrealistic and exaggerated notions about sleep

Paradoxic intention Try to stay awake

Sleep hygiene education Promote habits that help sleep; eliminate habits that interfere with sleep Combines sleep restriction, stimulus control, and sleep hygiene education with cognitive CBT* therapy

*Standard Treatment according to American Academy of Sleep Medicine. CBT = cognitive-behavioral therapy. Morgenthaler T, et al.; American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleep. 2006;29(11):1415-1419. Bootzin RR, et al. J Clin Psychiatry. 1992;53 Suppl:37-41. Meta-analytic Support for Efficacy of CBT-i • 20 RCTs (1162 participants [64% female; mean age, 56 years]) • Approaches to CBT-i incorporated at least 3 of the following: cognitive therapy, stimulus control, sleep restriction, sleep hygiene, and relaxation • At the posttreatment time point – SOL improved by 19.03 (95% CI, 14.12 to 23.93) minutes, – WASO improved by 26.00 (CI, 15.48 to 36.52) minutes, – TST improved by 7.61 (CI, 0.51 to 15.74) minutes, and – SE% improved by 9.91% (CI, 8.09% to 11.73%) • Changes seemed to be sustained at later time points. No adverse outcomes were reported CBT-i = CBT for insomnia; RCT = randomized controlled trial; SE% = sleep efficiency; SOL = sleep onset latency; TST = total sleep time; WASO = wake after sleep onset.

• CBT and pharmacologic agents are effective for the direct management of insomnia • Selection of hypnotic should be based on the patient’s clinical needs Doghramji K, et al.

• Sleep has improved • Mood disturbance has worsened • Baseline indicators of MDD – Low mood – Anhedonia – Insomnia – Fatigue – Psychomotor slowing • You elect to start an antidepressant agent Complex Relationship between Insomnia and Mood Disorders • Insomnia – Is a common complaint in MDD – Is more likely to emerge prior to, than during or after, MDD first episode or recurrence – Is associated with higher rates of lifetime and current MDD and suicide – Its presence and persistence predict future MDD – Predicts poorer outcome in MDD (persistence, chronicity, suicidality) – Predicts the onset of mania in bipolar depression

• A systematic evaluation for comorbidities is essential • Whenever possible, treat the comorbid disorder
