"The paper was published in the journal PLOS Biology, and explores what the authors describe as five "sleep-biopsychosocial profiles that simultaneously relate self-reported sleep patterns to biopsychosocial factors of health, cognition, and lifestyle." The first of these made explicit the connection between poor sleep and troubled mental health. The scientists identified one group that took longer to fall asleep and had less rewarding sleep; the people in this group also experienced "depression, anxiety, somatic complaints and internalizing behavior" along with "fear, anger and stress.""
"As for the third group the scientists identified, this one "was mostly characterized by sleep aids intake," which was reflected in issues with both memory and "emotional recognition." Researchers found that the fourth group was characterized by relatively short amounts of sleep and "higher aggressive behavior and lower agreeableness" as a result. A fifth group demonstrated a connection between sleep disturbances and "aggressive behavior and worse cognitive performance.""
Five sleep-biopsychosocial profiles relate self-reported sleep patterns to biopsychosocial factors of health, cognition, and lifestyle. One profile shows longer time to fall asleep, less rewarding sleep, and co-occurring depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, internalizing behavior, fear, anger, and stress. A second profile exhibits similar psychological issues but greater sleep resilience. A third profile centers on sleep-aid use and associates with memory deficits and impaired emotional recognition. A fourth profile involves short sleep duration coupled with higher aggression and lower agreeableness. A fifth profile links sleep disturbances to increased aggression and poorer cognitive performance. Findings largely rely on self-reported questionnaires, raising questions about objective accuracy.
