Sleep disorders are highly prevalent, have high comorbidity and high socio-economic costs. Research on the various sleep disorders and factors for their improvement is essential. This monograph includes original research that helps to answer fundamental questions about sleep quality and improvement of sleep disorders. The aim of this monograph is on the one hand to include innovations from sleep research, on the other hand to expand knowledge on psychological and health interventions for the improvement of sleep quality and the treatment of major sleep disorders.

Highlights
- •
The vulnerability to seasons independently correlates with shorter latencies for both REM and N1 sleep.
- •
The shorter the REM sleep latency was, the higher was the vulnerability to seasons, even after controlling for age with the Kupfer Index.
- •
The light and photoperiod seem to play a pivotal role in regulating the systems involved in REM sleep dysregulation in depressive disorders.
