This study investigated the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between self-reported compassion and sleep quality.
The data came from the population-based Young Finns Study with an 11-year follow-up on compassion and sleep (n = 1064). We used regression models, multilevel models, and cross-lagged panel models to analyze the data.
The results showed that high compassion was cross-sectionally associated with lesser sleep deficiency and fewer sleep difficulties. High compassion also predicted fewer sleep difficulties over an 11-year follow-up (adjusted for age, gender, socioeconomic position in childhood and adulthood, body mass index, health behaviors, and working conditions). This association disappeared when controlling for depressive symptoms. The predictive pathway seemed to proceed more likely from high compassion to fewer sleep difficulties than vice versa.
Compassion may buffer against sleep difficulties, possibly via reducing depressive symptoms.
本研究调查了自我报告的同情心与睡眠质量之间的横断面和纵向关联。
数据来自基于人群的芬兰青年研究,对同情心和睡眠进行了11年的随访(n = 1064)。我们使用回归模型、多层次模型和交叉滞后面板模型来分析数据。
结果表明,高同情心在横断面与较少的睡眠不足和较少的睡眠困难相关。在11年的随访中,高同情心还预测了较少的睡眠困难(根据年龄、性别、儿童期和成年期的社会经济地位、体重指数、健康行为和工作条件进行了调整)。当控制抑郁症状时,这种关联消失了。预测途径似乎更可能是从高同情心到较少的睡眠困难,而不是相反。
同情心可能通过减少抑郁症状来缓冲睡眠困难。
