Sleep Quality, Well-Being and Mental Health among Adults

Dear Colleagues,

Although sleep is one of the main behavioral drivers for well-being, less is known about how sleep health promotes positive well-being and mental health. Sleep health provides a holistic picture of sleep comprising multiple dimensions including adequate duration, timing, regularity, efficiency, satisfaction, and daytime alertness. Furthermore, sleep health exists along a continuum that extends our study of sleep beyond poor sleep to include good sleep. By including a health-oriented versus disease-oriented perspective, we can better characterize all individuals in the population and understand the benefits associated with healthy sleep.

Given the potential for sleep health to capture multiple facets of sleep, both healthy and unhealthy, this Special Issue focuses on the role of sleep health for well-being and mental health. Manuscripts focused on aspects or multidimensional assessments of sleep health that include both good and poor sleepers, along with any number of important indicators of daytime functioning such as mental health and well-being, are welcome.
