Sleep disorder over time: psychiatric correlates among males

H Sweetwood, I Grant, DF Kripke, MS Gerst and J Yager

This 18 month prospective study assessed the time course of sleep disturbances in 85 male psychiatric out-patients and 103 male non- patients. Over one-third of the patients and 5 per cent of the non- patients reported frequent symptoms of insomnia during at least 14 of the 18 months. Frequency and chronicity of insomnia were strongly associated with intensity of psychiatric symptomatology, but not with diagnosis. Minor tranquillizers and hypnotics were used frequently by patients and occasionally by non-patients, but there was little indication that they altered the course of insomnia.
