Clinical predictors of insomnia in borderline personality disorder: a polysomnographic and subjective examination
Our study confirmed high rates of insomnia and sleep disturbances in individuals with BPD, which contrasted with relatively minor PSG alterations. Clinical BPD severity and symptomatology are associated with sleep abnormalities in individuals with BPD. Insomnia is a neglected yet important characteristic of the BPD phenotype, warranting more attention in future research and clinical guidelines.
