Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sleep plays a vital role in overall health, with mounting evidence demonstrating its significant impact on both metabolic and mental wellbeing. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disruptions, are increasingly being recognized as critical factors that contribute to metabolic dysfunction and mental health conditions, including diabetes, obesity, depression, and anxiety.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the intricate relationship between sleep disorders and metabolic as well as mental health outcomes. We invite multidisciplinary research that examines the biological, psychological, and clinical dimensions of this association. Studies addressing the mechanisms linking sleep disorders with metabolic syndromes, the bidirectional relationship between poor sleep and mental health disorders, and potential therapeutic interventions are particularly encouraged.
In particular, papers focusing on women’s sleep health or studies that include significant female cohorts are especially welcome. Women experience unique sleep challenges across their lifespan due to hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, and menopause, and research in this area is critical for advancing tailored approaches to prevention and treatment.
We welcome submissions of original research, reviews, and clinical studies that provide novel insights into this growing field, with the aim of advancing our understanding of how sleep disorders influence metabolic and mental health, and how early detection and treatment may improve patient outcomes.
