Sleep-dependent affect is hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of internalizing disorders in adolescents, but it remains unclear which timescale of coupled fluctuation in daytime affect and sleep patterns is relevant for internalizing symptoms. Based on preliminary data from an ongoing ambulatory assessment study in adolescents, we will examine to what extent adolescents differ in the way their daytime affect fluctuates as a function of objectively measured sleep patterns of the previous night (i.e., total sleep time, sleep midpoint, and sleep regularity). Furthermore, this study will test, if within-person sleep-affect couplings are predictive for retrospective self-reports of internalizing symptoms. |
