| Core Tip |
This letter emphasizes the importance of evaluating sleep as a central physiological parameter in bipolar disorder. While the original study demonstrated lithium’s advantage over valproic acid in sleep quality. It is highlighted that reliance solely on self-reported scales is a limitation. Wearable technologies and actigraphy offer objective, scalable alternatives to polysomnography. Future studies should integrate serum drug-level monitoring and adjunctive antipsychotic data into longitudinal designs to clarify how mood stabilizers influence sleep and to advance personalized treatment strategies in bipolar disorder. |
