Look at the clock — One sleep habit can improve your mental health

An intern’s typical routine, or lack thereof, involves late bedtimes, early wake-ups, and big swings in sleep and wake duration, all of which turned out to be detrimental to her mood the next day.

Study participants also recorded their mood using an app and completed a patient health care assessment every three months. The results of the internship “before” and “after” were then compared.

The study, published in Nature’s npj Digital Medicine journal, suggests that irregular sleep and wake times increase the risk of developing depression, and may even be more detrimental to mental health than not getting enough sleep.
