Best Answer

Sleep is good for everyone, but especially people with mental health disorders. There is some scientific research that good sleep (eight to ten hours of quality sleep) can help bring chemicals in the brain back to normal levels. Since many researchers think that schizophrenia is caused by abnormal levels of dopamine (a chemical in the brain), sleep probably helps with the symptoms of schizophrenia.
