Nah. A different article on this research was posted two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27408723 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27408723 . This article (and the previous one) claims that you can reduce depression risk by waking up one hour earlier. That's not what the research shows at all. It shows that people who wake up earlier are less likely to have depression. That's 100% mixing up correlation and causation. People with depression have sleep issues? People without depression have an easier time waking up? No shock there. Can working on sleep issues help with depression? Sure. But waking up an hour earlier doesn't magically turn you into a person without depression.
