Poor sleep quality, particularly insomnia, has been identified as a frequent problem among individuals with mental health difficulties. Comorbid sleep difficulties adversely affect quality of life and functioning, and have been associated with the causation and maintenance of a number of psychiatric disorders, as well as increasing the risk of relapse. The study objectives were to ascertain clinician knowledge related to insomnia, investigate sleep quality among service users in a community mental health setting in the UK, and evaluate service provision of evidence-based interventions for sleep difficulties.
