Perfectionism Contributes to Sleep-Wake State Discrepancy: The Mediating Role of Pre-Sleep Arousal
Overview
This study investigates the link between perfectionism and sleep-wake state discrepancy in adults with and without insomnia symptoms. It identifies pre-sleep arousal as a mediator in the relationship between specific perfectionism traits and perceived versus objective sleep differences. The resource is relevant for researchers or clinicians interested in the cognitive mechanisms underlying insomnia.
