Abstract
Light therapy yields inconsistent results in people with non-seasonal depression, which may in part be due to heterogeneous responses and the temporal dynamics of changes in sleep, daytime functioning and mood. This study assessed the timeline of the antidepressant effects of light therapy and sleep rescheduling relative to changes in sleep and daytime sleep-related factors, and sought to identify predictors of treatment response in young people with depression. Twenty-four individuals with depression (mean±SD: 21.2±1.0 years old;17% male) underwent adjunctive morning light therapy with a wake-up phase advance over four weeks. They completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. On average, BDI-II scores decreased significantly after four weeks of intervention (F(2,32)=3.5, p=.044, ηp2=0.18). After two weeks, improvements in the ease of getting to sleep and sleep quality were significantly associated with BDI-II improvements (F(2,21)=6.3, p=.007). From two to four weeks, improvements in daytime sleep-related factors were significantly associated with BDI-II improvements (F(2,12)=6.0, p=.015). More sleep-related difficulties prior to the intervention tended to predict BDI-II improvements across the four weeks of light therapy (F(2,14)=3.7, p=.053). Open-label design and small sample size. Sleep-enhancement emerging in the early phase of light therapy and sleep rescheduling may subsequently alleviate sleep-related daytime dysfunctions, which may in turn further improve mood. Controlled trials are required to confirm whether the antidepressant effects of light may be linked to the attenuation of sleep-related difficulties, and whether sleep difficulties may be useful predictors of the antidepressant response to light therapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
