Though that is an interesting topic. The data doesnt suggest that sleep had any effect on the depression rates of teens.

Sleep impacts all aspects of health, including mental health, of all age groups.

Sleep deprivation is actually an effective treatment for many cases of depression.

Could you please link to any studies where this was examined?

Sorry, I think you are mistaking what I'm writing. I'm referring to this article and basing it of PEW Research on adolescence with depression. The addition of more sleep hasn't changed anything in this survey. In regards to already existing reports by PEW on the rates of depression which in teenagers and in more specifically girls have an exponential growth in depression rates. Its not due to a change in social stigma but rather the use of social media. Specifically facebook and instagram which most teenage girls spend the majority of their time on.
