Napping and psychiatric disorders: A systematic review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Napping is associated with adverse health outcomes in healthy adults. Given limited evidence in psychiatric disorders, this PRISMA-compliant review examined napping across various conditions, including studies on prevalence or clinically relevant outcomes related to disease course. Among the 8275 records identified from PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, 40 were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, RoB 2.0, and ROBINS-I tools, by study design. Most studies concerned patients with depressive disorders, who often nap more frequently and longer than controls, with plausible differential impact across subpopulations. In some, like pregnant women, napping may represent a risk factor; in others, a negative prognostic marker. Fewer studies suggest napping benefits mood, well-being and memory. In bipolar disorder, napping appears prevalent and may increase the risk of depressive symptoms. Research on schizophrenia spectrum and anxiety disorders research is contradictory but generally shows higher napping prevalence versus controls, and links napping to increased anxiety risk in elderlies. Conversely, napping does not appear specifically associated with eating or neurodevelopmental disorders, although data on the latter remain scarce in adults. Overall, daytime napping is prevalent in most psychiatric disorders and may represent a risk and/or prognostic factor, deserving systematic clinical assessment.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
