Adolescent Sleep as a Transdiagnostic Factor: Associations Between Actigraphy-Derived Night-to-Night Sleep Metrics and Adolescent Psychopathology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study examined associations between actigraphy-derived sleep metrics (ie, intraindividual sleep variability, average sleep duration, bedtime, and waketime) and psychopathology to discern their roles as potential transdiagnostic factors related to psychiatric problems during adolescence.

Method

In a sample of 238 adolescents (aged 14-18 years; 0.4% Asian American, 4.0% Black, 22.0% Multiracial, and 73.5% White; 53.4% female) oversampled for socioeconomic risk, we used a bifactor s-1 model of psychopathology, with emotion dysregulation as the reference indicator, to model the general factor of dysregulation and psychopathology (GF-DP) as well as specific internalizing and externalizing factors. We used multilevel structural equation modeling with the Markov chai
