Description
Zachary Hubshman and colleagues chart sleep growth in young people whose parents live with mood disorders, in a 2026 study. Such youth face higher odds of mood illness themselves, and sleep trouble often shows up early. Whether their sleep truly differs from peers, and at what ages, was unclear. Wrist movement trackers recorded two full weeks of sleep for 176 at-risk youth and 119 comparison youth, aged 8 to 25.
Growth curves for total sleep, sleep timing, and sleep regularity split apart by group at set ages. At-risk youth slept less in middle childhood, then slept more in young adulthood. Their sleep midpoint ran later in late childhood and earlier after the late teens. The authors read the flip as a sign that sleep needs and habits shift across growing up in at-risk youth.
