flag Poor sleep in early teens raises suicide risk by age 17, study finds.

flag A new University of Warwick study links insufficient or disrupted sleep in early adolescence to a higher risk of suicide attempts by age 17, based on data from over 8,500 UK teens. flag Even after accounting for mental health issues, self-harm, and socioeconomic factors, shorter sleep durations and frequent nighttime awakenings at age 14 were independently associated with increased suicide risk. flag Researchers say poor sleep is a standalone risk factor, not just a symptom, and recommend improving sleep habits as a practical suicide prevention strategy.
