Short Sleep in Patients With Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

To the Editor: Individuals who sleep for 6 hours or less and have no daytime impairment are considered to be short-sleepers. This variation in sleep duration is relatively rare and thought to occur in 3.6% of men and 4.3% of women. While short sleepers themselves may have no complaints, their caregivers might be concerned about the short duration of sleep and/or express frustration about the impact that this is having on their own ability to obtain adequate rest.
