🧪Rational decision-making moderated the association between night awakenings & attempted suicide. The buffering effect of rational decision making was only evident when reported frequency of night awakenings was low, highlighting sleep as a preventative target for suicide attempts. #SleepPeeps (2/2)
Figure 1 Associations between self-reported frequency of night awakenings at 14 years and the mean predicted probability of reporting an attempted suicide at 17 years at low (lowest 50 per cent of scores) and high (highest 50 per cent of scores) levels of rational decision-making. The blue line represents the 50 per cent of participants with the lowest rational decision-making scores and the red line reflects the remaining 50 per cent of participants with the highest rational decision-making scores. For both rational decision-making groups, an increase in night awakenings corresponds with an increased probability of reporting a suicide attempt. At low levels of night awakenings, those with high levels of rational decision-making have a slightly lower risk of subsequent reported suicide attempt compared to participants with low levels of rational decision-making. As the frequency of night awakenings increases, high and low levels of rational decision-making demonstrate similar risk for reporting a suicide attempt.

This project was funded by the MRC and Monash Warwick Alliance, and brilliantly led by Talar Moukhtarian and Amber Tout. The programme was co-produced with shift workers and their employers in civil engineering, construction, and manufacturing.

“Self-harm rates have quadrupled since 2000 and risen from 6.4% in 2014 to 10.3% in 2024, with the highest rates among 16- to 24-year-olds at 24.6%, especially young women at 31.7%.”
