Abstract
Recent findings suggest that insomnia and emotion regulation are closely connected. Insomnia is widely associated with medical and psychiatric conditions as well as with impaired quality of life and emotional functioning. Additionally empirical evidence suggests that emotional dysregulation plays a crucial role in the onset and maintenance of psychopathological disorders. Although these seem to interact, very few studies investigated the relationship between disturbed sleep and problems in emotion regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been demonstrated to be effective in comorbid insomnia. However, emotion regulation skills are not included in this intervention. After reviewing the recent findings of the literature, we aim to discuss future directions for the inclusion of emotion regulation training in the treatment of insomnia disorder.

Summary
All the functions of sleep are still unknown, sleep is necessary to maintain our overall health [1]. Wakefulness in the daytime and sleep at night are normally expected, but humans can experience a bimodal sleep pattern, with the major peak during the night and a smaller peak or nap in the afternoon [2]. Sleep patterns change with aging, resulting in more wake time and lower sleep efficiency [1]. Sleep disruption can affect vital regulatory processes such as metabolic and immune function [4], resulting in slower postoperative recovery, in Citation: Tran D, Tang C, Tabatabai S, Pleasants D, Choukalas C, et al (2021) The Impact of Surgery duration and Surgery End Time on Postoperative Sleep in Older Adults.
