    Excerpt

    Sleep–wake disorders and disruptions of sleep are underrecognized for their impact on the health of individuals and populations. Psychiatrists, including those with subspecialty sleep medicine expertise, can play an important role in helping to elevate understanding of the health implications of sleep–wake disorders and disruptions of sleep across the fields of medicine. In their training, psychiatric practitioners should acquire an understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of sleep–wake disorders as well as knowledge of how sleep disruption may occur in many other mental and physical disorders. Psychiatrists also should be aware of the positive role of sleep on brain function and the neurocognitive, mood, and related effects of sleep deprivation and their public health consequences (Lowe et al. 2017).
