Consistently short sleep duration more likely to precede symptoms than inverse, genetic data reveal
So you’re depressed and can’t sleep, so you sleep less which makes you more depressed, which means you fall asleep late, so you get even less sleep…

“Just snap out of it” hits close to home. I didn’t realize a lot about depression and felt like I could just eat right or exercise… The Hilarious World of Depression podcast really helped me figure out we aren’t just a good day away from being fine.
No sh*t sherlock ;D
This was my exact response after reading the headline. And then again when I read the article.
That’s okay, your boss just installed a suicide net outside the building.
It’s 4am and I just woke up because a pack of coyotes were screaming and sounding like the Halloween score.
I get on Lemmy. I read this.
Fuck.
AWOOO NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT CRANK THAT HOG, BROTHER
Good thing I get 6 a night, only have Depression Lite™
Let’s get back to the office and commute, so we can all be depressed.
For the shareholders!
Less than 7 hours will fuck me up
Could somebody get my anxiety on the phone? It’s gonna wanna hear this.
That’s great but then why the fuck can I never fall asleep until unreasonably late
Anxiety. Which is possibly causing the depression.
Yeah, I know
“We have this chicken or egg scenario between suboptimal sleep duration and depression. They frequently co-occur, but which comes first is largely unresolved. Using genetic susceptibility to disease we determined that sleep likely precedes depressive symptoms, rather than the inverse,”
I don’t agree with this position. They may have proven sleep disregulation can be a prodromal symptom but I highly doubt it’s causitive.
