abstract="OBJECTIVE/Background: Previous studies suggested that sleep problems were related to non-suicidal self-injury. The current systematic review investigated more thoroughly this relationship.<br><br>METHODS: PubMED and Embase databases were searched. The keywords were &quot;self-injury&quot; OR &quot;self-harm&quot; OR &quot;non-suicidal self-injury&quot; OR &quot;self-injurious behavior&quot; OR &quot;self-destructive behavior&quot; OR &quot;self-mutilation&quot; AND &quot;sleep problem&quot; OR &quot;sleep disturbance&quot; OR insomnia OR nightmare OR &quot;poor sleep quality&quot; or &quot;sleep disorders.&quot; A total of 16 studies were included in the present review.<br><br>RESULTS: The pattern of results indicated that sleep problems such as short sleep duration, sleep disturbances, and poor sleep quality were associated with non-suicidal self-injury. Additionally, emotional dysregulation, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder appeared to mediate this relationship. Above all adolescents and young adults with sleep disruptions were at higher risk of non-suicidal self-injury.<br><br>CONCLUSIONS:g Interventions to improve sleep quality and sleep duration might concomitantly decrease the risk of non-suicidal self-injury.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
