| Core Tip |
This study explored how two commonly used mood stabilizers, lithium and valproic acid, affect sleep quality in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) during remission. Although overall sleep quality was poor in both groups, patients treated with lithium showed significantly better sleep efficiency and fewer sleep disturbances compared to those receiving valproic acid. These findings highlight the potential advantage of lithium in promoting more stable and restorative sleep in BD. Given the critical role of sleep in the long-term course and relapse risk of BD, our results suggest that sleep-related outcomes should be considered when selecting maintenance treatments. Further studies using objective sleep measures and longitudinal designs are needed to build on these findings. |
