Abstract

Sleep is a crucial factor influencing mental health and quality of life. Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) often experience significant sleep problems. This can further exacerbate their symptoms and impact their socio-occupational functioning (SOF) (the extent to which a person is able to engage in ‘self-care and activities of daily living, communication, interpersonal relations, instrumental living skills, and work’). Despite the well-established bidirectional relationship between sleep and mental health, the specific association between sleep and SOF in the context of SMI remains underexplored. A systematic review was conducted. Comprehensive searches in PubMed and PsycNet yielded 832 results. After applying inclusion criteria, 24 studies were included in the narrative synthesis. Study characteristics and key findings were extracted for analysis. Collectively, studies investigated sleep quality, satisfaction, duration, disturbance, specific disorders, and objectively-recorded sleep parameters across various study designs. Studies included a total population of 10,938, utilising a range of sleep and SOF outcome measures. Nearly all studies indicated that worsened sleep was associated with reduced SOF in SMI populations. The review supports the potential role of improved sleep as a route to improved SOF in SMI populations. This has clear implications for research and clinical care for patients with SMI.
