“…Alternatively, stress-related sleep disturbance, or sleep reactivity, may explain the link between stress and insomnia. Previous studies have demonstrated a consistent link between sleep reactivity and insomnia (Jefferson et al, 2005;Drake et al, 2011;Nakajima et al, 2014;Jarrin et al, 2013). However, because sleep reactivity is not conceptualized in absolute terms, individuals vary in the degree to which they have a vulnerability to stress-related sleep disturbance.…”

“…Insomnia is a major source of daytime impairment (Riedel & Lichstein, 2000; Drake, Vargas, Roth, & Friedman, 2014) and is associated with a number of negative health consequences (Ohayon, 2002). Although a number of factors increase vulnerability to insomnia (see Drake & Roth, 2006 for review), one factor that has gained increasing support is sleep reactivity (Drake, Richardson, Roehrs, Scofield, & Roth, 2004; Drake, Friedman, Wright, & Roth, 2011; Jarrin, Chen, Ivers, & Morin, 2013; Nakajima et al, 2014). Sleep reactivity is the degree to which a person experiences sleep disturbance in response to various challenges, and is commonly considered a predisposing factor to insomnia (Drake & Roth, 2006).…”

Greater sleep difficulty following a challenging event, or a vulnerability to stress-related sleep disturbance (i.e., sleep reactivity), is characteristic of insomnia. However, insomnia is rarely observed in isolation; rather it is frequently seen in combination with other problems, such as depression. Despite the link between depression and increased sensitivity to stress, relatively little is known about the role sleep reactivity has in explaining variability in depressive symptoms. Therefore, the current study examined whether sleep reactivity was associated with depressive symptoms, and whether this relationship was mediated by insomnia. We assessed sleep reactivity, insomnia, and depressive symptoms among 2250 young adults (1244 female; Mage = 23.1, SDage = 2.97) from the Colorado Longitudinal Twin Study and Community Twin Study. Results indicated that greater sleep reactivity was significantly associated with elevated depressive symptoms, and that this link was partially mediated by insomnia. This is one of the first studies to demonstrate an independent association between sleep reactivity and depressive symptomatology. These findings suggest that a greater sensitivity to stress-related sleep disturbance may also be a predisposing factor to depression, and highlight the need for a better understanding of sleep reactivity, as it may represent a more global vulnerability construct.

“…Individuals vary to the degree that they are susceptible to the negative effects of stressful events on sleep, a trait known as sleep-reactivity (Drake, Richardson, Roehrs, Scofield, & Roth, 2004). Highly sleep-reactive individuals have been shown to have an increased likelihood of developing persistent insomnia (Jarrin, Chen, Ivers, & Morin, 2013). The COVID-19 outbreak and the ensuing quarantine policies are likely to increase stress and worry among the population, which may trigger sleep disturbances in sleep-reactive individuals.…”

The ongoing pandemic of the novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the implementation of quarantine policies have led to substantial changes in daily routine for most Canadians. These policies, including the prohibition of large gatherings and the closure of nonessential businesses, have had a significant impact on mental wellbeing, leading to an increase in anxiety and stress among the public. It is therefore essential to consider the impact of COVID-19 and quarantine from a psychological lens. The effects of the pandemic and resulting quarantine policies are discussed from a sleep health perspective. Heightened anxiety and limited avenues for social support during the quarantine are discussed as precipitating factors for an increase in sleep disturbances. The impact of a lack of routine and reduction in physical activity on sleep regulatory processes is explored. Finally, strategies to reduce anxiety and strengthen sleep processes based on empirical evidence are presented in the context of the current pandemic.

“…This concept is referred to as sleep reactivity or the degree to which individuals are vulnerable to stress-related sleep disturbance (i.e., difficulty falling and/or staying asleep). Prior research supports that sleep reactivity is a predisposing factor to insomnia disorder ( Drake et al, 2014 ; Jarrin et al, 2013 ; Nakajima et al, 2014 ). These studies suggest that, prior to the onset of insomnia disorder, individuals who are highly sleep reactive have a greater tendency to experience sleep disturbance following a stressful life event.…”

A negative cognitive style is associated with greater insomnia and depression symptoms: The mediating role of sleep reactivity

Insomnia and depression are distinct clinical phenomena, yet they are highly comorbid. One potential explanation for the high comorbidity rates is the overlap in risk factors. Atypical responses to stress, for example, place individuals at greater risk for both insomnia and depression. The goal of the present study was to simultaneously assess vulnerability to stress-related sleep disturbance (sleep reactivity) and the tendency to make negative attributions about stressful events (negative cognitive style), and how they relate to insomnia and depression. Study participants included 224 undergraduate students recruited from a large, public university in the United States. Sleep reactivity and negative cognitive style were assessed using the Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST) and the Cognitive Style Questionnaire (CSQ), respectively. Insomnia symptoms were assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Sleep reactivity was independently associated with greater insomnia and depression symptoms. Additionally, a negative cognitive style was related to greater depressive symptoms, and this effect was partially mediated by sleep reactivity. The current findings suggest that sleep reactivity may contribute to the development of disorders beyond insomnia. These findings further support the use of an interdisciplinary approach to investigating etiological models, and more specifically, the further exploration of how multiple stress responses (in terms of cognitions, sleep, etc.) place individuals at greater risk for developing psychopathology.
