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.
