This study looks longitudinally at young adults with regard to psychiatric diagnoses and sleep disorders, showing that depression at 2-year follow-up was related to initial insomnia, when controlling for depressive symptoms at entry to the study.

These data from the John Hopkins precursor study demonstrate that first-year medical students followed up for a median period of 34 years displaying insomnia or disturbed sleep under stressful conditions were more prone to depression in the long run than were individuals without signs of disordered sleep.

This primary health care study in almost 2000 individuals looked at the incidence of insomnia and related complaints. The incidence of insomnia according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, third edition (revised), critieria was 10%, associated with significantly greater general health problems.

Am J Psychiatry 1997; 154:1412-1416. This excellent study examined the diagnostic process concerning insomnia in sleep disorder clinics. The main observation was that sleep disorder specialists in most cases of primary insomnia diagnose an additional psychiatric disorder.

This longitudinal study examined sleep problems in a sample of remitted depressed patients. Insomniac complaints in the 5-week interval before the onset of a new episode were highly predictive of the relapse.

This paper reports a controlled study in 34 manic inpatients. Sleep duration was correlated negatively with symptom intensity in those individuals experiencing the early phase of mania.

This study was performed in a naturalistic setting in 11 rapid-cycling bipolar patients. Using sophisticated statistical methods, sleep loss and wake onset time were the best predictors of mania or hypomania the following day.

Sleep deprivation combined with consecutive sleep phase advance as a fast-acting therapy in depression: an open pilot trial in medicated and unmedicated patients. Am J Psychiatry 1997; 154:870-872. Phase advance of the sleep period for 7 days after successful sleep deprivation was able to preserve the effects of sleep deprivation for a period of 7 days in almost two-thirds of the investigated patients.

Arch Gen Psychiatry 1997; 54:145-152. This study investigated inter-relationships between circadian phase, sleep-wake rhythms and mood in healthy individuals in a isolation unit with the forced desynchronization protocol. Mood seemed to be dependent on a complex relationship between prior wakefulness and circadian phase.
