For sleep disorder and trouble sleeping, the indirect components were statistically significant (all p < 0.001), whereas the direct effects did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.61 and p = 0.088, respectively), a pattern consistent with an indirect-only association via depressive symptoms (PM = 42.7 and 46.9%).
