Exploring the Interplay Between Sleep Quality and Emotional Regulation in Anxiety Disorders

Abstract

Sleep quality and emotional regulation play critical roles in mental health, particularly in individuals with anxiety disorders. This study investigates the relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Through quantitative analysis of self-reported measures of sleep quality and emotional regulation strategies, this research seeks to better understand how poor sleep impacts emotional regulation and exacerbates anxiety symptoms. Results indicate a strong correlation between poor sleep quality and emotional dysregulation, with sleep disturbances further contributing to anxiety severity. Practical implications for treatment interventions targeting sleep and emotional regulation are discussed.
