“…Adding to the literature that affect balance is a resource forregulating overall sleep quality, our multivariate analysis further showed that overall sleep quality decreases linearly with affect balance, and that this relationship is moderated by psychological well-being; at lower (respectively, higher) levels of psychological well-being, the decline in overall sleep quality with affect balance is faster (respectively, slower). To provide a speculative explanation for this moderating effect, we tap on a recent finding by Ding et al (2020) that neuroticism moderates the direct effect of trait mindfulness on sleep quality in a university student population. A higher level of trait mindfulness is associated with less sleep disturbance and hence better sleep ( Garland et al, 2013 ).…”

“…A higher level of trait mindfulness is associated with less sleep disturbance and hence better sleep ( Garland et al, 2013 ). Individuals high in neuroticism, however, tend to pay more attention to negative stimuli which contributes to the maintenance of sleep disturbances ( Ding et al, 2020 ). Thus, neuroticism serves to weaken the positive effect of trait mindfulness on sleep quality.…”

We examined the relationship between sleep and the affective components of subjective well-being as well as psychological well-being, and between sleep and academic performance, of full-time undergraduate students in a residential college at the National University of Singapore. The aspects of sleep considered were self-reported sleep duration, sleep efficiency, frequency of sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, sleep latency and overall sleep quality, as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Academic performance was measured using self-reported cumulative average point scores, typically known as grade point average in other institutions. Psychological well-being and the affective components of subjective well-being were assessed using the Flourishing Scale and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, respectively. With the exception of sleep latency, our univariate analysis revealed significant associations between the abovementioned facets of sleep, and the affective components of subjective well-being. The analysis also revealed significant associations between the above sleep variables and psychological well-being, except sleep latency and frequency of sleep disturbances. Only daytime dysfunction was found to be significantly correlated with academic performance in our univariate analysis. In addition, our multivariate analysis shows that psychological well-being, affect balance and academic performance each has a direct effect on overall sleep quality. The relationship between overall sleep quality and psychological well-being is U-shaped, while that between overall sleep quality and affect balance is linear and moderated by psychological well-being. The relationship between overall sleep quality and academic performance is either U-shaped or an inverted-U, depending on the level of psychological well-being, which moderates the relationship. These nonlinear relationships indicate that individuals with the highest levels of psychological well-being are not the best sleepers (in terms of overall sleep quality), neither are the highest academic achievers necessarily the best sleepers.

“…The students in the intervention group exhibited a significant increase in self-reported mindfulness after the eight sessions, indicating that the intervention enhanced participants’ awareness of mindfulness, which was in line with some previous MBI studies [ 15 , 16 , 40 ]. Since mindfulness has been found to be closely associated with sleep quality [ 14 ], the effectiveness of the intervention for sleep problems which was found in the current study, is probably linked to an increase in mindfulness. Given that a prior study found that benefits of mindfulness training pertaining to sleep quality depended on continued practice [ 41 ], the fact that no significant difference in mindfulness of the intervention group between postintervention and 1-month follow-up was probably because of the lack of daily mindful practice among participants after the intervention was finished.…”

“…A person may focus on the present moment and on the surrounding environment and activities in a nonjudgmental manner in a mindful state [ 11 ]. Multiple studies have provided empirical evidence suggesting that the level of mindfulness was significantly associated with a series of psychological outcomes, including the reduction of depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress [ 12 , 13 ], and the improvement of sleep quality [ 14 ]. Furthermore, mindfulness training was confirmed to be effective for increasing sleep quality and buffering distress [ 15 , 16 ].…”

The increasing prevalence of sleep disorders among university students should be taken seriously. Group counseling involving a mindfulness-based strategy may help prevent students from developing insomnia and subsequent mental health disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the ameliorating effects of a mindfulness-based group intervention on sleep problems and emotional symptoms in university students in China. Twenty-one university students (16 females, 22.71 ± 4.28 years) who were not on medication were recruited and assigned to the intervention group based on the criterion of high levels of sleep problems. Additionally, twenty-four university students (19 females, 24.50 ± 0.93 years) were included as a nonrandomized control group. Individuals in the intervention group participated in a two-hour group intervention once a week for eight sessions. All participants completed self-reported questionnaire baseline tests, postintervention tests, and one-month follow-ups on mindfulness, sleep quality, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Repeated-measures ANOVA was performed. The results revealed significant intervention effects, with significant differences observed between the two groups in mindfulness and sleep quality. However, there was no significant effect of the intervention on anxiety and depressive symptoms. This study contributes to a better understanding of the effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention in addressing sleep problems in university students.

This paper investigates the relationship between mindfulness and well-being within the context of compliance with prophylactic measures in the time of COVID-19. We conducted a large-scale survey among a representative sample of the French population. We measured mindfulness, using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and the extent to which respondents were impacted by COVID-19 in terms of their mood and quality of sleep, as well as how they complied with prophylactic measures. Our results suggest that more mindful individuals were less negatively impacted by COVID-19 with regard to their sleep and mood. Concerning the prophylactic measures, we obtained mixed results: more mindful participants were more likely to respect lockdowns, physical distancing and to cough in their sleeves, but did not wash their hands, wear masks or avoid touching their face more often than less mindful individuals.
