How to pronounce "schizophrenia"

there is always, always sleep disruption,

but it's been largely ignored.

In the 1970s, when people started to think about this again,

they said, "Yes, well, of course you have sleep disruption in schizophrenia,

because they're on antipsychotics.

It's the antipsychotics causing the sleep problems,"

ignoring the fact that for a hundred years previously,

sleep disruption had been reported before antipsychotics.

So what's going on?

Several groups are studying

conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar

and what's going on in terms of sleep disruption.

We have a big study which we published last year on schizophrenia,

and the data were quite extraordinary.

In those individuals with schizophrenia,

much of the time, they were awake during the night phase

and then they were asleep during the day.

Other groups showed no 24-hour patterns whatsoever --

their sleep was absolutely smashed.

And some had no ability to regulate their sleep by the light-dark cycle.

They were getting up later and later and later and later each night.
