Highlights

  • Sleep is minimally documented in severe mental illness (SMI) patient records.
  • Recommended sleep interventions (e.g., CBT-I) are rarely delivered in SMI settings.
  • Further work is needed to improve sleep assessment and intervention in SMI settings.
  • Targeting sleep in SMI patients could significantly improve symptoms and wellbeing.
