Sleep quality affects a person's performance and quality of life. Poor sleep was recently associated with hyperarousability and difficulties in processing sensory input.
To examine the relationships between sensory-processing difficulties (SPD) and sleep quality in healthy adults.
The 185 participants, aged 21 to 60 (mean 33.64 +/- 8.69), completed the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Sleep quality significantly correlated with sensory-processing patterns characterized by hypersensitivity. These patterns were manifested in specific modalities (tactile, visual, and auditory), which significantly predicted sleep quality.
Sleep quality may be related to predisposing, sensory-processing patterns, particularly to hypersensitivity. Occupational therapists should refer to the possible relationship between SPD and sleep quality when treating individuals with SPD or poor sleepers. This may assist in implementing the optimal intervention based on the person's specific needs and contribute to performance and quality of life.
睡眠质量会影响一个人的表现和生活质量。近期研究表明，睡眠不佳与过度觉醒以及感觉信息处理困难有关。
研究健康成年人感觉处理困难（SPD）与睡眠质量之间的关系。
185名年龄在21至60岁（平均33.64 +/- 8.69岁）的参与者完成了青少年/成人感觉概况量表（AASP）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。
睡眠质量与以超敏反应为特征的感觉处理模式显著相关。这些模式在特定的感觉模态（触觉、视觉和听觉）中表现出来，并能显著预测睡眠质量。
睡眠质量可能与易感性感觉处理模式有关，尤其是与超敏反应有关。职业治疗师在治疗患有感觉处理困难或睡眠不佳的个体时，应考虑到SPD与睡眠质量之间的可能关系。这可能有助于根据个体的具体需求实施最佳干预措施，并改善其表现和生活质量。
