“…Experimental studies showed that sleep deprivation (ranging from no sleep to maximum 4 h sleep) led to more PEs in healthy volunteers (Meyhöfer, Kumari, Hill, Petrovsky, & Ettinger, 2017; Petrovsky et al, 2014; Reeve, Emsley, Sheaves, & Freeman, 2018 a ), providing evidence for a causal relationship between sleep deprivation and PEs. Longitudinal research has shown that sleep problems are associated with later PEs in UHR youth (Lunsford-Avery, LeBourgeois, Gupta, & Mittal, 2015), the general population (Freeman et al, 2012; Reeve & Bell, 2022; Wang et al, 2023; Zhou et al, 2022) and patients diagnosed with non-affective psychotic disorder (Reeve, Nickless, Sheaves, & Freeman, 2018 b ). In addition, this relationship was found to be bidirectional in patients with non-affective psychosis (Reeve et al, 2018 b ), but not in adolescents from the general population (Zhou et al, 2022).…”
