Longitudinal cohort study reveals correlations among sleep-wake disturbance, metabolic dysfunction, and mood disorders.

A small correlation exists between depressive symptoms at age 21 and metabolic dysfunction at age 30.
The study found an indirect relationship where sleep-wake disturbance impacted metabolic outcomes linked to mood disorders.
Sleep-wake cycle disturbance appears to play a role in metabolic dysfunction, contrary to the focus on weight gain.
Findings indicate clinical populations need more precise measures of sleep-wake disturbances for accurate assessments.

McKenna et al. (2025) studied this question.
