Vulnerability to sleep-related affective disturbances? A closer look at dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep as a moderator of daily sleep-affect associations in young people.
Sleep Health 2023 August 27
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Sleep and affect are closely related. Whether modifiable cognitive factors moderate this association is unclear. This study examined whether Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep moderate the impact of sleep on next-day affect in young people.
METHODS: Four hundred and sixty-eight young people (205 adolescents, 54.1% female, M ± SDage =16.92 ± 0.87; 263 emerging adults, 71.9% female, M±SDage =21.29 ± 1.73) self-reported sleep and affect, and wore an actigraph for 7-28 days, providing >5000 daily observations. Linear mixed-effects models tested whether Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep moderated daily associations between self-reported and actigraphic sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and next-day affect on between- and within-person levels. Both valence (positive/negative) and arousal (high/low) dimensions of affect were examined. Covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, day of week, and previous-day affect.
RESULTS: Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep significantly moderated sleep and high arousal positive affect associations on between- but not within-person levels. Individuals with higher Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep (+1 SD) and lower average sleep duration (actigraphic: p = .020; self-reported: p = .047) and efficiency (actigraphic: p = .047) had significantly lower levels of high arousal positive affect. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep did not moderate relationships between sleep duration and low arousal positive affect (p ≥ .340).
CONCLUSIONS: Young people with more unhelpful beliefs about sleep and shorter, or poorer, sleep may experience dampened levels of high arousal positive affect. DBAS may constitute a modifiable factor increasing affective vulnerability on a global but not day-to-day level. Intervention studies are needed to determine if changing Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep may reduce sleep-related affect disturbances in young people.
