Social stigma has been associated with disparities in sleep heath; however, one type of stigma that has been less evaluated is weight bias internalization. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results linking weight bias internalization and sleep problems and few have examined associations with insomnia.
Women with disordered eating (N = 173, M=20.22, SD=1.70, range=18-25) completed questionnaires measuring insomnia symptoms, weight bias internalization, alcohol use, and dysphoria. Linear regression tested associations between weight bias internalization and insomnia symptom severity, after adjusting for demographic variables, alcohol use, and dysphoria.
Weight bias internalization, alcohol use, and dysphoria were significantly positively associated with insomnia symptom severity above-and-beyond demographic variables.
Although effect sizes were small, weight bias internalization was associated with greater insomnia symptom severity. Results add to the growing literature examining the associations of stigma with sleep health.
社会污名与睡眠健康方面的差异有关；然而，有一种污名化现象一直较少受到关注，那就是内化的体重偏见。先前的研究表明，内化的体重偏见与睡眠问题之间的关联结果不一致，而且很少有研究探讨其与失眠之间的关联。
患有饮食失调的女性（N=173，M=20.22，SD=1.70，范围 18-25）完成了问卷，问卷内容包括失眠症状、内化的体重偏见、酒精使用和抑郁。在调整人口统计学变量、酒精使用和抑郁后，线性回归测试了内化的体重偏见与失眠症状严重程度之间的关联。
除人口统计学变量外，内化的体重偏见、酒精使用和抑郁与失眠症状严重程度呈显著正相关。
尽管效应大小较小，但内化的体重偏见与更严重的失眠症状有关。结果增加了越来越多的研究文献，这些文献检查了污名与睡眠健康之间的关联。
