To examine the relationship between sleep and resting autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning in college students. Participants were 141 undergraduate students (52 males) recruited from a large southeastern university during September-October 2017. Participants completed self-report inventories (demographic and sleep characteristics). Resting state skin conductance (SC) and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured in a laboratory setting for ANS functioning. SC was positively associated with sleep quality ( = 0.027), sleep latency ( = 0.040), and use of sleep medication ( < 0.001). Analyses yielded a negative association between the standard deviation of the normal-normal interval of heart beats (SDNN) and the self-reported amount of time to fall asleep each night ( = 0.041). Sleep efficiency was negatively correlated with low frequency HRV ( = 0.002). Sleep components are associated with resting ANS activity, and targeted interventions focused on improved ANS functioning may benefit sleep quality in college students.
为研究大学生睡眠与静息自主神经系统（ANS）功能之间的关系。研究对象为2017年9月至10月从东南部一所大型大学招募的141名本科生（52名男性）。参与者完成了自我报告量表（人口统计学和睡眠特征）。在实验室环境中测量静息状态下的皮肤电导（SC）和心率变异性（HRV）以评估ANS功能。SC与睡眠质量（=0.027）、入睡潜伏期（=0.040）和使用睡眠药物（<0.001）呈正相关。分析得出，正常心跳间期标准差（SDNN）与每晚自我报告的入睡时间呈负相关（=0.041）。睡眠效率与低频HRV呈负相关（=0.002）。睡眠成分与静息ANS活动相关，针对改善ANS功能的靶向干预可能有益于大学生的睡眠质量。
