aPHQ-8: 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire.

bModel 1: Circadian rhythm = β1 PHQ‑8 + COVs.

cModel 2: Circadian rhythm = β1 PHQ‑8 + β2 season + COVs, where COVs represents covariates mentioned in the Methods section. Note that winter is the reference season.

dThe exact P values are reported in the main text.

eIV: intradaily variability.

fIS: interdaily stability.

gL5 onset: the onset of least active continuous 5-hour period.

hM10 onset: the onset of the most active continuous 10-hour period.

iHR: heart rate.

jHR MESOR: midline estimating statistic of the fitted cosine wave for heart rate.
