“…Further, these relationships were examined in married couples in a manner that accounted for shared variance among partners. This is an especially important addition to the literature on couples and sleep as previous research examining sleep in couples has done so without accounting for the nonindependent nature of dyadic data (Keller, Haak, DeWall, & Renzetti, 2017; Segrin & Burke, 2015).…”

Although the importance of occupational burnout for sleep has long been recognized, it is largely examined as an individual phenomenon. Because a majority of adults in the U.S. share the bedroom with their partner, the current study examines the role of occupational burnout in understanding the link between self-control and sleep disturbance in close relationships. Data from 96 married couples were analyzed using the actor–partner interdependence mediation model. Both husbands’ and wives’ self-control (predictor) were linked to their levels of occupational burnout (mediator), and to husbands’ sleep disturbance (outcome) through husbands’ occupational burnout. Neither husbands’ or wives’ self-control nor occupational burnout scores related to wives’ sleep disturbance. Findings from the current study identify burnout management in husbands as a potential nonpharmacological alternative approach to treating sleep disorders and emphasizes the need to examine predictors of sleep in a relational context.

“…Moreover, couples reporting poor sleep showed greater in ammatory responses as measured by interleukin-6 during a con ict compared to couples who reported a better sleep (Wilson et al, 2017). Self-reported sleep problems have also been shown to correlate with more marital aggression (Keller, Haak, DeWall, & Renzetti, 2019). Interestingly, the relationship between sleep problems and marital aggression was mediated by lower levels of self-control (Keller et al, 2019).…”

Although poor sleep has been found to correlate with deteriorations in romantic relationships, its causal impact on interpersonal conflict has not previously been studied. Therefore, 30 couples were randomly assigned to either a single night of total sleep deprivation or a night of normal sleep to test the effects of sleep deprivation on couples’ conflict. After the experimental night, all participants discussed a topic of recurrent conflict for 15 minutes. We collected pre- and post-conflict measures of cortisol, self-reports of feelings and satisfaction with the conflictual discussion. Multilevel analyses revealed higher cortisol levels during conflict and less positive affect prior to and after the conflict for sleep-deprived couples compared to couples in the control condition. Additionally, higher cortisol levels during the conflict predicted lower satisfaction about the content of the conflict among sleep-deprived couples. These findings provide initial evidence for a causal negative impact of sleep deprivation on couples’ conflicts.

“…It should also be noted that another key factor which contributes to developing healthy habits is sleep. This is essential in childhood, as it contributes to cognitive development (Keller, Haak, DeWall, and Renzetti, 2019). Similarly, it has been shown that during sleep neuronal waste that accumulates during wakefulness is eliminated, which facilitates proper cognitive functioning, increased emotional state and strengthening of the immune system (Mireku et al, 2019).…”

The use of different digital devices is a widespread practice among young people. These acts will be a key conditioning factor in their health and quality of life. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to establish the relationships between the problematic use of video games with physical-healthy and psychosocial variables in Primary Education students. This study is descriptive and cross-sectional in nature, developed in a sample of 577 primary schoolchildren, aged between 11-12 years (M = 11.41; S.D. = 0.492). An Ad-Hoc questionnaire was used to record hours of physical activity, hours of sleep and use of screens. Likewise, for the problematic use with video games, the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Video Games (CESR) was used, as well as the questionnaire of Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (KIDMED). Those young people who register more hours of sleep and more hours of physical activity, do not offer problems with video games. However, the higher values of use of digital screens are related to severe problems. Those students who do not have problems with video games obtain higher values at academic, emotional, family and physical levels. In contrast, higher values of social self-concept are associated with severe problems. Finally, higher body mass indices are associated with severe problems with video games, while greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with those who do not have problems.

Poor Sleep Is Associated With Greater Marital Aggression: The Role of Self Control

Abstract: Sleep problems were associated with higher levels of aggression on all measures, and lower self-control mediated these associations. Associations did not depend on participant gender, presence of children in the home, income, or length of marriage.
