Topic: Misalignment Between Circadian Biology and Sleep/Wake Behavior as a Mediator of Depression Improvement in Adolescents with Depression and an Evening Chronotype
I'll discuss findings from a treatment trial among depressed, evening type adolescents. The study aims to test the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral sleep intervention (Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention; TranS‐C) and evaluate improved alignment between circadian biology and sleep–wake behavior as a potential mechanism in the relationship between sleep and depression symptom improvement.
