Among couples, sleep is theorized to be a dyadic process, within which relationship quality exerts a large influence (Troxel, Robles, Hall, & Buysse, 2007). In turn, research has shown that capitalization, or positive-event disclosure, influences relationship quality. The benefits of capitalization, however, are contingent on the receipt of a supportive response, here referred to as capitalization support (Reis & Gable, 2003). Accordingly, the current study examined daily capitalization support, loneliness, and intimacy as predictors of sleep (i.e., quality, duration, difficulty falling asleep). Post-9/11 military veterans and their spouses (N = 159) completed a 32-day internet-based survey assessing daily relationship experiences and health. Results of an actor-partner interdependence mediation model on aggregated daily data revealed actor indirect effects of capitalization support on sleep outcomes via loneliness and intimacy, for veterans and spouses. Partner indirect effects were observed for veteran capitalization support on spouse difficulty falling asleep and sleep quality, via spouse loneliness and intimacy. Lagged actor-partner models revealed similar actor effects for daily capitalization support on loneliness (spouses) and intimacy (spouses and veterans), which in turn uniquely predicted daily sleep. Partner effects were observed for veteran capitalization support on spouse intimacy, and veteran loneliness on spouse sleep quality. Results highlight potential new avenues for interventions to promote better sleep by promoting positive relationship functioning between romantic partners. Such work is especially important for high-risk individuals, including military veterans and their spouses for whom prolonged postdeployment sleep difficulties pose particular concern.

在夫妻关系中，睡眠被认为是一种二元过程，其中关系质量起着重要作用（Troxel、Robles、Hall 和 Buysse，2007）。反过来，研究表明，资本增值，即积极事件披露，会影响关系质量。然而，资本增值的好处取决于收到支持性的回应，这里称之为资本增值支持（Reis 和 Gable，2003）。因此，本研究考察了日常资本增值支持、孤独感和亲密感对睡眠（即睡眠质量、持续时间、入睡困难）的预测作用。9·11 后退伍军人及其配偶（N=159）完成了一项为期 32 天的基于互联网的调查，评估了日常关系经历和健康状况。聚合日常数据的演员-伙伴相互依存中介模型的结果表明，退伍军人和配偶的演员间接效应通过孤独感和亲密感对睡眠结果产生了资本增值支持的影响。还观察到了伴侣的间接效应，即退伍军人的资本增值支持通过配偶的孤独感和亲密感对配偶入睡困难和睡眠质量的影响。滞后的演员-伙伴模型揭示了日常资本增值支持对孤独感（配偶）和亲密感（配偶和退伍军人）的类似演员效应，这些效应反过来又独特地预测了日常睡眠。观察到了退伍军人的资本增值支持对配偶亲密感的伴侣效应，以及退伍军人的孤独感对配偶睡眠质量的伴侣效应。研究结果突出了通过促进浪漫伴侣之间积极的关系功能来促进更好睡眠的新途径，这对于高风险个体尤其重要，包括退伍军人及其配偶，因为他们在部署后长期睡眠困难是一个特别关注的问题。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2018 APA，保留所有权利）。
