The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) was utilized to evaluate depressive symptoms. BDI-II items were classified into three domains: cognitive, affective, and somatic. Between-domain differences with various SWRDs were examined. Latent class analysis was used to empirically classify participants using BDI-II items as indicator variables. Co-occurring patterns between domains of BDI-II items and SWRDs were re-examined in each subgroup to elucidate inter-individual differences.Results: In total, 657 participants were enrolled. Of participants, 66.8% were female, and 52.4% were diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Each BDI-II domain exhibited different co-occurring patterns. The somatic domain was most likely to co-occur with various SWRDs. Three subgroups were derived from latent class analysis and were designated as poor sleep quality and high insomnia (n=150), poor sleep quality and moderate insomnia (n=248), and poor sleep quality and low insomnia (n=159). The group with more severe insomnia presented with more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms. The three subgroups further differed in co-occurring patterns. From the low insomnia to high insomnia group, the associations with various SWRDs appeared in the sequence of somatic, affective, and cognitive domains.Conclusion: Co-occurring patterns between domains of depressive symptomatology with various SWRDs differ and may vary among individuals.Keywords: co-occurring, latent class analysis, mood disorders, sleep-wake-related disturbance, depression
