This makes sense to me as a correlation. Mental health disorders alone seem like they’d contribute significantly.

ADHD, for example, is correlated with both sleep cycle issues and worse outcomes in life (including higher rates of crime and participation in risky activities).

Sleep apnea symptoms are initially similar to ADHD. Apparently a ton of kids gets mis-diagnosed with ADHD while they are slowly suffocating because they have UARS. Stimulants mask it.
