Abstract in brief

The study analyzed sleep duration in over 11,000 children and found that shorter sleep is linked to increased psychiatric issues such as depression, anxiety, and impulsive behavior, and is also related to differences in brain structure, particularly in areas like the prefrontal cortex and temporal cortex.
Longitudinal data indicated that psychiatric problems, especially depression, can predict shorter sleep duration one year later, and brain regions like the orbitofrontal cortex may influence sleep through their effect on depressive symptoms.
Findings suggest that parental mental health and brain structure play a role in children’s sleep problems, highlighting the importance of considering family psychiatric history and brain development when addressing childhood sleep and psychological issues.
