“…Sleep disturbance was measured as a modified version of the Jenkins sleep scale (Jenkins et al, 1988) that included the following four items: “How often do you have trouble falling asleep?,” “How often do you have trouble with waking up during the night?,” “How often do you have trouble with waking up too early and not being able to fall asleep again?” and “How often do you feel really rested when you wake up in the morning?.” Responses included “Rarely or never,” “Sometimes,” and “Most of the time.” The sleep items were reverse coded, and then, all four items were averaged to create the total score; this approach is consistent with past uses of this scale in the literature (Lee et al, 2017).…”

Objectives: To model the relationship between loneliness and sleep disturbance over time. Method: Data came from the Health and Retirement Study (2006, 2010, 2014 waves; age ≥ 65 years; n = 5,067). Loneliness was measured via the Hughes Loneliness Scale and sleep disturbance via a four-item scale assessing sleep and restedness. Cross-lagged panel modeling (path analysis) was used to jointly examine reciprocal effects between loneliness and sleep disturbance. Results: Higher loneliness correlated with higher sleep disturbance at baseline. There was evidence of reciprocal effects between loneliness and sleep across timepoints. These associations overall remained when accounting for demographics, objective isolation, and depression. Discussion: Although causality cannot be established, the findings indicate that the relationship between loneliness and sleep disturbance is bidirectional. This requires revision to the current theory on sleep disturbance as a mechanism for the relationship between loneliness and health and indicates that effective treatment of sleep disturbance may reduce loneliness.

“…In other words, people who have a history of engagement in high-quality relationships that can promote social belongingness and emotional security should get better sleep. Although no research to date has tested whether patterns of experiences and behaviors across relationships predict sleep, a sizable body of research has shown that positive aspects of current romantic relationships-such as greater daily self-disclosure (Kane, Slatcher, Reynolds, Repetti, & Robles, 2014), greater perceptions of partner responsiveness (Selcuk, Stanton, Slatcher, & Ong, 2016), greater marital harmony (Prigerson, Maciejewski, & Rosenheck, 1999), and increases in marital quality over time (Lee, Chopik, & Schiamberg, 2017)-all predict better sleep quality and/or duration. Conversely, greater relationship conflict is associated with poorer sleep quality (Hicks & Diamond, 2011), shorter sleep duration (for women), and difficulties falling asleep (El-Sheikh, Kelly, & Rauer, 2013).…”

Research has shown that greater stress responses predict worse sleep and that the quality of one's current romantic relationship predicts one's sleep. Despite these established links, research has not examined connections between ongoing patterns of interpersonal experiences and competencies (relationship effectiveness) and stress exposure on sleep. Participants in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation (MLSRA) completed measures assessing relationship effectiveness and stress exposure at ages 23 and 32 years, as well as sleep quality/duration at age 37 years. Analyses demonstrate that relationship effectiveness at age 23 years positively predicts sleep quality—but not sleep duration—at age 37 years via reduced stress exposure at age 32 years. These findings highlight the effects of relationship effectiveness and stress exposure across early to middle adulthood on sleep.

“…Relationship between marriage and health were often analyzed with longitudinal data. For example, longitudinal associations of marital quality and marital dissolution [10], longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and marital processes [11], longitudinal associations between marital quality and sleep quality in older adulthood [12], and longitudinal associations between alcohol consumption and negative marital quality [13] were investigated. Several longitudinal studies observed bidirectional association between poor marital quality and depression [14], bidirectional association between marital problems and marital dissatisfaction [15], bidirectional associations between changes in insomnia and changes in marital quality [16], and bidirectional relationships between marital and sleep problems [17].…”

Background: First marriage was vital for a common person in all-life, and there were concerns that marital quality had relationship with self-reported health and quality of life (SRH and SRQoL), health change, and sleep quality. This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between subjective health assessment and quality of first marriage to characterize the stability and directionality of the trajectory of marriage- health over time.Methods: Data were from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Chinese elders completed surveys across 3 waves (2008/2009, 2011/2012, and 2014). Using autoregressive cross-lagged models, bidirectional relationships between SRH, SRQoL, health change, sleep quality, and quality of first marriage over time were examined.Results: Cross-sectional analysis confirmed the significant associations between SRH, SRQoL, health change, sleep quality, and quality of first marriage. Autoregressive linear models of SRH, SRQoL, health change, sleep quality, and quality of first marriage were confirmed. Cross-lagged relationship between SRQoL and SRH, between SRQoL and sleep quality, between SRQoL and health change, between SRH and sleep quality, between quality of first marriage and SRQoL, and between sleep quality and health change were confirmed. Conclusions: Subjective health assessment was associated with future subjective health assessment across 3 longitudinal waves. Quality of first marriage might be influenced by SRQoL among older Chinese. Future research needs to examine influencing psychological mechanism of the cross-lagged relationships.
