Despite a long history of interest in personality as well as in the mechanisms that regulate sleep, the relationship between personality and sleep is not yet well understood. The purpose of this study was to explore how personality affects sleep.
The present cross-sectional study, based on a sample of 1291 participants with a mean age of 31.16 years (SD = 12.77), investigates the impact of personality styles, assessed by the Personality Adjectives Checklist (PACL), on subjective sleep quality, as well as the possible mediation of this relationship by dispositional emotion regulation (ER) styles.
The dispositional use of suppression was a quite consistent predictor of poor subjective sleep quality for individuals scoring high on Confident, Cooperative or Introversive personality traits, but low on Respectful personality traits. Although a positive relationship between reappraisal and subjective sleep quality was found, there was only little evidence for a relationship between the assessed personality styles and the use of cognitive reappraisal.
The present results indicate that in the evaluation of subjective sleep, the impact of personality and ER processes, such as emotion suppression, should be taken into account.
尽管人们对人格以及调节睡眠的机制有着长期的研究兴趣，但人格与睡眠之间的关系尚未得到充分理解。本研究的目的是探讨人格如何影响睡眠。
本横断面研究以1291名平均年龄为31.16岁（标准差=12.77）的参与者为样本，调查通过人格形容词清单（PACL）评估的人格类型对主观睡眠质量的影响，以及特质情绪调节（ER）方式对这种关系的可能中介作用。
对于在自信、合作或内向人格特质上得分高但在尊重人格特质上得分低的个体，抑制的特质性使用是主观睡眠质量差的一个相当一致的预测指标。虽然发现重新评价与主观睡眠质量之间存在正相关，但评估的人格类型与认知重新评价的使用之间几乎没有关系的证据。
目前的结果表明，在评估主观睡眠时，应考虑人格和ER过程（如情绪抑制）的影响。
