Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Italy found disrupted sleep and irregular daily routines contributed to schizophrenia spectrum disorder symptoms. The study surveyed 250 participants with SSD and measured their activity and rest throughout the day and night by asking them to wear a wristband that detects movement and acceleration. It found that both residential and outpatient SSD patients tended to have fewer active hours during the day and spent more time sleeping or passively resting than healthy controls.
