Consistently short sleep duration more likely to precede symptoms than inverse, genetic data reveal

    “We have this chicken or egg scenario between suboptimal sleep duration and depression. They frequently co-occur, but which comes first is largely unresolved. Using genetic susceptibility to disease we determined that sleep likely precedes depressive symptoms, rather than the inverse,”

    I don't agree with this position. They may have proven sleep disregulation can be a prodromal symptom but I highly doubt it's causitive.
