“…Rather than trying to get a grip on or alter disturbing sleep-related thoughts and feelings, the more observing stance characteristic of mindful individuals would be conducive to a greater detachment of everyday worries that impede restful sleep. In line with this, a few previous studies found mindfulness to relate positively to sleep (Howell, Digdon, & Buro, 2010;Howell et al, 2008). Herein, we propose that need satisfaction can explain the observed salutary effects of mindfulness on sleep.…”

“…Recently the teaching and practice of mindfulness has been actively incorporated into psychotherapy (Baer, 2006;Hayes, Villatte, Levin, & Hildebrandt, 2011) due to its salutary effects found across a range of clinical contexts (Brown, Ryan, & Creswell, 2007). Mindfulness, when defined in this way, is found to be positively associated with psychological well-being (Howell, Digdon, & Buro, 2010;Howell, Digdon, Buro, & Sheptycki, 2008) and negatively associated with a broad array of internalizing problems (Brown & Ryan, 2003;Brown et al, 2007), including depression (Christopher & Gilbert, 2010;Masuda & Tully, 2012), anxiety (Brown & Ryan, 2003;Roemer et al, 2009), somatization (Masuda & Tully, 2012), and general distress (Masuda & Tully, 2012;Masuda, Wendell, Chou, & Feinstein, 2010).…”

Relations Among Self-concealment, Mindfulness, and Internalizing Problems

Self-concealment and mindfulness can be viewed as two fairly stable emotion/behavior regulation tendencies, which are often linked to a range of internalizing problems. The current study examined whether low levels of mindfulness and higher levels of self-concealment predict higher levels of depression, anxiety, and somatization for both men and women. An ethnically diverse sample of college undergraduate females (n = 738) and males (n = 249) completed a web-based survey that included the self-report measures of interest. Path analysis models were evaluated separately for male participants and female participants. The findings from these models revealed that low levels of mindfulness predict higher levels of depression, anxiety, and somatization above the effects of self-concealment, age, and ethnicity for both men and women.Low levels of self-concealment predicted higher levels of depression and anxiety above the effects of mindfulness, age, and ethnicity for both men and women, and low levels of selfconcealment predicted higher levels of somatization for women. Contrary to predictions, selfconcealment did not predict somatization in men above the effects of mindfulness, age, and ethnicity. These findings suggest that mindfulness and self-concealment are distinct predictors useful for understanding the correlates of internalizing problems.

“…In einer Querschnittsstudie fanden Howell et al (2010) bei einer Gruppe junger Studenten bei höherer Achtsamkeit ein geringeres Arousal vor dem Schlafen, eine bessere Schlafhygiene und letztlich eine bessere subjektive Schlafqualität bei gleichzeitig stärker ausgeprägter Erholungsfunktion des Schlafes [20]. In einer weiteren Querschnittsuntersuchung fand sich auch bei postmenopausalen Frauen im Alter von 50 bis 65 Jahren ein protektiver Effekt von Achtsamkeit auf das Vorliegen einer Insomnie.…”
