About this Research Topic
The Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) is a measure that assesses the daily variability of sleep and wake rhythms over a certain period. Inconsistent sleep schedules, as reflected in lower SRI scores, can have a profound impact on both psychological health and overall well-being. Emerging research suggests that irregular sleep patterns could contribute to various mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunctions. Through this Research Topic, we seek to understand the comprehensive implications of SRI on mental health.
We are focused but not limited to the following themes:
1. The intrinsic relationship between SRI and anxiety, depression, stress disorders, and mood fluctuations.
2. The correlation between SRI and cognitive functions, such as memory, concentration, decision-making, and learning processes.
3. Societal factors influencing SRI – including work schedules, societal pressures, and lifestyle habits – and their subsequent impacts on mental health.
4. Potential mechanisms through which SRI might influence mental health and neurobiological processes.
