In 30 seconds

This systematic review evaluated the effects of ketamine on sleep and circadian rhythms in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Analyzing 26 studies with 1694 participants, the review found that ketamine is associated with improved subjective sleep quality and suggests that baseline sleep disturbances may predict treatment response.

Key findings

  • Ketamine treatment is linked to improved subjective sleep quality in MDD and BD patients.
  • Baseline sleep disturbances may predict antidepressant response to ketamine.
  • There is preliminary evidence of beneficial effects on objective sleep and circadian rhythmicity.

Why it matters

Understanding the relationship between ketamine treatment and sleep can help clinicians identify potential predictors of treatment response, enhancing personalized care for patients with mood disorders.
