Prof. Dr. Björn Rasch interviewed on Late Night Zürich
Björn Rasch (Chairman of Netzwerk Schlaf) discusses in an interview how stress, rumination, and everyday habits affect our sleep.

Sleep, breathing, and mental health: Key findings from Palagini et al. (2025)
The study shows that sleep-related breathing disorders are closely linked to insomnia, emotional dysregulation, and increased stress. Disturbed breathing during sleep acts not only as a physical risk factor but also as a psychological one, which can exacerbate anxiety, depression, and daytime fatigue. An integrative treatment approach that considers sleep, breathing, and psychological processes together is crucial to reduce long-term health consequences.
