Associations between psychological inflexibility processes, pre‐sleep arousal and sleep quality
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines how psychological inflexibility processes relate to sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in a general population sample of 704 adults. The authors investigate whether cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, and lack of present moment awareness mediate this relationship through physiological or cognitive arousal mechanisms. Results indicate that these specific inflexibility processes significantly predict sleep quality via pre-sleep arousal, with anxiety adding no further explanatory value.
