Sufficient and good-quality sleep not only plays an integral role in our physical but also in our mental wellbeing. This Collection focuses on the role of sleep in aspects of human Psychology such as attention, emotion regulation, executive control, memory and learning. In addition, insufficient or low-quality sleep can be a trigger, a side effect, or even as a result of poor mental health.

This Collection welcomes papers exploring the reciprocal relationship between sleep and mental health, as well as work examining the potential benefits of psychological interventions in treating sleep disorders. Purely behavioural and cognitive research as well as research using methods such as neuroimaging or brain stimulation will be considered for inclusion in the Collection.

A double bed with five pillows and striped bedcovers is floating in space about 1 meter above the ground. The background is a uniform shade of blue, with a slight shadow underneath the bed.
