About this item
The session will introduce the audience to circadian misalignment and its consequences, with a focus on its prevalence among mood and psychotic disorders. It will then introduce experimental evidence for sleep inertia as a biomarker of circadian misalignment. Finally, the session will explore the genetic basis of sleep inertia and epidemiological studies of its links to psychiatric disorders and suicide.
