Abstract

Background: Sleep is critical to a person’s overall physical and mental health. The current study investigated the relationship between mindfulness and sleep quality, to determine if this relationship is influenced by emotion regulation and perceived stress. Method: Three hundred sixty-seven undergraduate students responded to five self-report measures, (1) The Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale (CAMS-R), (2) The Impact of Event Scale (IES-R), (3) The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), (4) The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and (5) The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: Results revealed (1) sleep quality was predicted by the presence of hyperarousal, acting with awareness, and the CAMS-R, (2) the Impact of Event Scale was moderately positively correlated with a person’s global score on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and (3) the relationship between mindfulness and sleep quality was mediated by hyperarousal. Conclusions: Together, our findings suggest that higher levels of intrusive thoughts, avoidance, and hyperarousal are correlated with lower overall sleep quality, and the use of mindfulness techniques such as acting with awareness and being non-reacting to negative thoughts or hyperarousal may help predict an individual’s sleep quality.

正念与睡眠质量的关系是由情绪调节介导的

背景：睡眠对一个人的整体身心健康至关重要。目前的研究调查了正念和睡眠质量之间的关系，以确定这种关系是否受到情绪调节和感知压力的影响。方法：367名大学生采用5项自我报告量表进行问卷调查，即：（1）认知和情感正念量表（CAMS-R）、（2）事件影响量表（IES-R）、（3）五面正念问卷（FFMQ）、（4）情绪调节问卷（ERQ）和（5）匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。结果：结果显示：（1）睡眠质量是通过超兴奋、有意识的行为和CAMS-R的存在来预测的；（2）事件量表的影响与匹兹堡睡眠质量指数的总体得分呈中度正相关；（3）正念和睡眠质量之间的关系是由超兴奋介导的。结论：总之，我们的研究结果表明，侵入性思维、回避和过度兴奋的程度越高，整体睡眠质量越低，而正念技术的使用，如有意识地行动和对负面思维或过度兴奋没有反应，可能有助于预测个人的睡眠质量。
