Dr. Celeste Harlies

Celeste Harlies is a researcher in psychiatric medicine affiliated with Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, contributing to clinical scholarship in the South African Journal of Psychiatry. Her work is situated within adult outpatient mental health services, with a focus on clinically relevant factors that influence patient wellbeing beyond primary psychiatric diagnoses.

Her research centers on sleep quality among adult psychiatric outpatients, highlighting the high prevalence of sleep disturbances across diagnostic categories. By applying validated assessment tools within a cross-sectional clinical framework, her work underscores the limited association between socio-demographic variables and sleep outcomes, while drawing attention to reduced sleep duration, impaired efficiency, and daytime dysfunction.

This contribution emphasizes the importance of integrating sleep assessment into routine psychiatric care and supports more comprehensive management strategies. As the current analysis is based on limited available publications, her emerging scholarly profile reflects a focused commitment to improving mental health outcomes through attention to comorbid sleep disturbances.
