Summary
Sleep problems during childhood and adolescence are associated with higher instances of anxiety and mood disorders in later years. This study examined the association between sleep problems, emotion regulation strategies, and the risk of psychiatric disorders in adolescents. Findings suggested that sleep problems were positively associated with an increased likelihood for a mood or anxiety disorder and poorer emotion regulation.
