“…Similarly, in an 11-year longitudinal study of 490 adoptive and nonadoptive (biological) youth in the US, sleep problems in toddlerhood predicted attention problems in adolescence, even after controlling for attention problems in toddlerhood (Gregory and O'Connor 2002). Interestingly, attention problems in toddlerhood also predicted sleep problems in adolescence after controlling for toddlerhood sleep problems (Gregory and O'Connor 2002), suggesting a bidirectional association between sleep problems and inattention in youth.…”

“…In a sample of detained adolescent and young adult males (ages 14-20 years), Ireland and Culpin (2006) found shorter sleep duration and poorer sleep quality to be concurrently associated with increased trait aggression. In a longitudinal study, Gregory and O'Connor (2002) found sleep problems at age 4 to predict aggressive behaviors in adolescence, but no evidence was found to support the reverse relation. Likewise, Gregory et al (2008) also found that parent-reported sleep problems longitudinally predicted self-reported aggression in young adulthood.…”

“…For instance, it appears that sleep problems do not confer risk for a specific mental health outcome (or select set of outcomes) but instead places youth at risk for a range of mental health difficulties (i.e., multifinality). That is, several of the studies summarized above show that sleep problems predict both externalizing and internalizing problems in adolescence (Gregory and O'Connor 2002;Gregory et al 2008;Shanahan et al 2014;Wong et al 2009). Recently, used crosslagged modeling to examine the reciprocal relations among sleep functioning (using both actigraphy and self-report ratings) and psychopathology symptoms over a 5-year period that included the transition into adolescence.…”

“…For instance, Gregory and O'Connor (2002) conducted an 11-year longitudinal study and found sleep problems at age 4 to predict anxiety/depression symptoms in adolescence, after controlling for toddlerhood levels of anxiety/depression. Of note, the reverse association of anxiety/depression symptoms in toddlerhood predicting sleep problems in adolescence was not supported (Gregory and O'Connor 2002). Fredriksen et al (2004) also found that young adolescents who obtained less sleep over time also reported higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem, whereas depressive symptoms and selfesteem did not predict sleep problems over time.…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

Association Between Disturbed Sleep and Depression in Children and Youths

et al. 2021

IMPORTANCE Disturbed sleep represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for depression in children and youths that can be targeted in prevention programs. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between disturbed sleep and depression in children and youths using meta-analytic methods. DATA SOURCES Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global were searched for articles published from 1980 to August 2019. STUDY SELECTION Prospective cohort studies reporting estimates, adjusted for baseline depression, of the association between disturbed sleep and depression in 5-to 24-year-old participants from community and clinical-based samples with any comorbid diagnosis. Case series and reports, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and treatment, theoretical, and position studies were excluded. A total of 8700 studies met the selection criteria. This study adhered to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) and Meta-analyses and the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) statements. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Study screening and data extraction were conducted by 2 authors at all stages. To pool effect estimates, a fixed-effect model was used if I 2 < 50%; otherwise, a random-effects model was used. The I 2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. The risk of bias was assessed using the Research Triangle Institute Item Bank tool. Metaregression analyses were used to explore the heterogeneity associated with type of ascertainment, type of and assessment tool for disturbed sleep and depression, follow-up duration, disturbed sleep at follow-up, and age at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES Disturbed sleep included sleep disturbances or insomnia. Depression included depressive disorders or dimensional constructs of depression. Covariates included age, sex, and sociodemographic variables. RESULTS A total of 22 studies (including 28 895 patients) were included in the study, of which 16 (including 27 073 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled β coefficient of the association between disturbed sleep and depression was 0.11 (95% CI, 0.06-0.15; P < .001; n = 14 067; I 2 = 50.8%), and the pooled odds ratio of depression in those with vs without disturbed sleep was 1.50 (95% CI, 1.13-2.00; P = .005; n = 13 006; I 2 = 87.7%). Metaregression and sensitivity analyses showed no evidence that pooled estimates differed across any covariate. Substantial publication bias was found. (continued) Key Points Question Is disturbed sleep associated with depression in children and youths? Findings In this meta-analysis of 16 studies including 27 073 patients, pooled estimates supported the role of disturbed sleep as a risk factor for depression in children and youths. Effect size estimates were small but statistically significant. Meaning This study suggests that disturbed sleep is a component of the multifaceted risk profile of depression and should be included in prevention programs as early as childhood.
