Healio (6/10, Ernst) reports, “Childhood-onset insomnia symptoms that continued into adulthood served as ‘strong determinants’ of internalizing disorders in young adults,” investigators concluded after examining data “from the Penn State Child Cohort, a population-based sample of 700 children,” then following “up with participants eight years later as adolescents (n = 421; median age, 16 years) and 15 years later as young adults (n = 492; median age, 24 years).” The findings were presented at the virtual SLEEP 2021 meeting.
