Sample Sizes and Descriptions of Sleep and Psychopathology Phenotypes

Trait Sample/Effective N Description/Ascertainment Coding Reference
Circadian Preference Higher score = more morningness
 Chronotype UKB, 23andMe/449,734 “Do you consider yourself to be: Definitely an evening person, More an evening than morning person, More a morning than an evening person, Definitely a morning person” Ordinal scale: −2, −1, 1, 2 Jones et al., 2019 (13)
 Sleep midpointa UKB/85,810 Calculated for each sleep period as the midpoint between the start of the first detected sleep episode and the end of the last sleep episode Clock times: continuous Jones et al., 2019 (23)
 Least active 5 hoursa UKB/85,205 Midpoint of the least active 5 hours of each day; the least active 5 hours was defined as the 5-hour period with the minimum average acceleration Clock times: continuous Jones et al., 2019 (23)
 Most active 10 hoursa UKB/85,670 Midpoint of the most active 10 hours of each day; the most active 10 hours was defined as the 10-hour period with the maximum average acceleration Clock times: continuous Jones et al., 2019 (23)
Efficiency Higher score = better sleep efficiency
 Sleep efficiency UKB/84,810 Sleep duration divided by the time between the start and end of the first and last nocturnal inactivity period, respectively Continuous Jones et al., 2019 (23)

 Long sleep durationb 135,283 “On average how much do you sleep?” Case (9 h or less), control Dashti et al., 2019 (18)
 Sleep duration actigraphyb UKB/85,449 Summed duration of all sleep episodes Continuous Jones et al., 2019 (23)
Noninsomnia Higher score = no insomnia liability
 Insomniaa UKB/259,365 “Do you have trouble falling asleep at night, or do you wake up in the middle of the night?” Case (usually), control (never/rarely) Lane et al., 2019 (14)

This table presents summary statistics from previously published genome-wide association studies. Sample size is the effective N, calculated as suggested by the Genomic SEM Wiki (Eff N = 4 × v × [1 − v] × [Ncases + Ncontrols]; v = sample proportion of cases) for case/control traits and full sample for continuous traits or meta-analyses.

Summary statistics were reverse coded by multiplying the z-statistic by −1 before being used in analyses.
