Sleep deprivation is a common problem in society, and bedtime procrastination (BtP) has become a significant cause of poor sleep among healthy individuals across various countries.
To study BtP, sleep behavior, and subjective well-being in the Indian population.
This was a cross-sectional study. The recruited participants were evaluated using the BtP Scale, World Health Organzation-5 Well-Being index, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire and Single-Item Sleep Quality Scale.
A total of 401 participants were recruited for the study. Symptoms of anxiety were higher in the female participants compared to males. Among females, there was a significant positive correlation between BtP score with symptoms of anxiety ( = 0.23) and depression ( = 0.15) and a negative correlation with subjective wellbeing ( = -0.23). A significant negative correlation was found between the ages of women and BtP score ( = -0.15). Among the male participants, there was a significant negative correlation of age with BtP score ( = -0.3) and anxiety ( = -0.19). Here, too, the BtP score was positively correlated with depression ( = 0.18) and anxiety ( = 0.35).
BtP worsens anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and subjective well-being. It needs to be targeted for the promotion and prevention of mental health.
睡眠剥夺是社会中的一个常见问题，而就寝拖延已成为各国健康人群睡眠不佳的一个重要原因。
研究印度人群中的就寝拖延、睡眠行为和主观幸福感。
这是一项横断面研究。使用就寝拖延量表、世界卫生组织-5幸福感指数、患者健康问卷-2、广泛性焦虑障碍2项量表、慕尼黑生物钟类型问卷和单项睡眠质量量表对招募的参与者进行评估。
共招募了401名参与者进行研究。女性参与者的焦虑症状高于男性。在女性中，就寝拖延得分与焦虑症状（r = 0.23）和抑郁症状（r = 0.15）之间存在显著正相关，与主观幸福感之间存在负相关（r = -0.23）。发现女性年龄与就寝拖延得分之间存在显著负相关（r = -0.15）。在男性参与者中，年龄与就寝拖延得分（r = -0.3）和焦虑（r = -0.19）之间存在显著负相关。同样，就寝拖延得分与抑郁（r = 0.18）和焦虑（r = 0.35）呈正相关。
就寝拖延会加重焦虑、抑郁、睡眠质量和主观幸福感。需要针对促进和预防心理健康来解决这一问题。
