Abstract
Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and sleep disturbances often co-occur in adolescence. While research has begun to examine individual symptom–symptom associations, the structure of these relationships remains to be fully characterized. This study employed network analysis to examine the conditional cross-sectional associations between sleep disturbances and PLE symptoms in early adolescence using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (
N
= 4,748). Difficulties initiating sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, dissociative experiences, and hallucinations were central to the network. Daytime sleepiness and dissociation functioned as bridges between domains, highlighting their role in both the overall network structure and comorbidity. PLEs were more prevalent,
t
(3,997.8) = 8.16,
p
< .05, and more distressing,
t
(3,567.3) = 9.16,
p
< .05, in females, but the overall network structure did not significantly differ by sex (
p
> .05). We discuss potential mechanisms underlying these relationships and suggest daytime somnolence and dissociative symptoms as potential targets for confirmatory analyses and development of future intervention studies in adolescence.
Sleep disturbances in individuals with PLEs seem more closely related to symptom dynamics than to momentary stress and distal developmental risk factors, while sleep quality is dynamically linked to momentary PLEs.

Adolescent development is a critical period marked by intensive neurobiological maturation, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system. Concurrently, sleep architecture undergoes physiological changes, making sleep quality inherently fragile and increasing vulnerability to chronic sleep deprivation. This n...

Background. Persistent distressing psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in youth are associated with cognitive, functional, and psychiatric impairments. Reduced hippocampal volume (HV) is a nonspecific neurodevelopmental risk marker across psychiatric disorders. While physical activity is associated with better mental hea...

There is a substantial literature on the associations between personality disorder (PD) and sleep dysfunction, but the majority of studies have focused on borderline PD. Studies that have taken a broader perspective have indicated that associations between PD and sleep problems are diffuse. The current study examined a...

BackgroundPsychotic-like experiences (PLEs) have been shown to increase the risk for mental health problems in later life, especially psychosis. Following previously raised methodological concerns about the assessment of PLEs in adolescents, this study sought to differentiate subtypes of PLEs and to explore their traje...

Abstract Background Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) and are associated with functional impairment. This study examined the prevalence of sleep disturbances and their associations with psychiatric symptoms and functional outcomes in a transdiagnostic SMI sample. Me...
