A study reported that genetic factors to be the cause of inter-relation between sleep problem and depression among the children. As genes plays important role in co-relating both depression and sleep.
Children with sleep problems were found to have high depression levels and moreover, identical twins were found to have strong relationships between sleep and depression due to high influence of genetic factors than to environmental factors.
In my opinion, only genes are responsible it can’t be said. I think environmental factors also matters that can cause depression and sleep problem to some extent.
There is a need of further study by analyzing the sleep of a depressed patient. It is also not clear from the study up to what extent genes influence the relation between these two problems or is there a specific gene related to these problems. No adults are concerned in this regard as they can more to be affected more by these problems
