Abstract: Sleep’s relevance for long-term social functioning in psychiatric disorders has been widely overlooked so far. Here, we investigate social functioning in a transdiagnostic sample of 31 patients with severe mental illness, namely schizophrenia (n = 15) or major depression (n = 16), in relation to their polysomnographic sleep characteristics 6 (± 2.4) years earlier. In addition, cognitive performance at follow-up and clinical characteristics (i.e., severity of disorder-related symptoms and number of hospitalizations between baseline and follow-up) are assessed. Multiple regression analysis results in a model with slow-wave sleep (SWS) and number of hospitalizations as significant predictors accounting for 50% (R2 = 0.507; p
