HealthDay (1/13, Solomon) reports a study found that “weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) may reduce the incidence of daily depressive symptoms in late adolescents and young adults.” The researchers observed “that participants with WCS had 41 percent lower odds of daily depressive symptoms versus those without WCS. Results were similar from causal inference and traditional multivariate regression models. A twofold greater benefit on depressive symptoms was seen for both healthy weekday sleep duration and an optimal time.” The study was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
