We used the @clscohorts.bsky.social 1970 British Cohort Study to investigate how mental health in childhood is related to sleep duration at age 46. Thanks to the accelerometry data available in the study (for free!) we were able to use both self-reported and objective measures of sleep 😴

We found some evidence for a relationship between poor early-life mental health and abnormal sleep in midlife, and this might not be fully explained by mental health in midlife. A huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors and co-authors @georgeploubidis.bsky.social & @dmorenoagostino.bsky.social!
