SummaryTheoretical models of insomnia disorder recognise an emotional component in the maintenance of the disorder. Nonetheless, the field of emotions is vast and different processes are involved in psychological well‐being. The present narrative review focusses on emotion regulation and affect dynamics, synthesising some of the most recent and relevant evidence on emotions in relation to the quality of sleep and to insomnia disorder. The literature underlines the close association between impaired sleep quality and difficulties in regulating emotions. Impaired sleep quality is also associated with reduced positive affect and increased negative affect, but little evidence supports a bi‐directional association between affective states and sleep. Affect variability in relation to sleep has been less investigated. Initial evidence suggests that high variability in positive affect has a negative impact on sleep. Neurobiological and behavioural evidence indicates that insomnia disorder is associated with emotion dysregulation, negative affect, and a distinct daily profile of affective states. More research is needed on the affective experience of patients with insomnia disorder, adopting multiple sampling of affect across the day and the week. Understanding how the unfolding of emotions over time interact with sleep alterations may help to improve the tailoring and monitoring of treatments addressing disturbed emotional processes in insomnia disorder.

“…At the start of each day during the experience sampling, participants will fill out a single question ("Last night, I had a problem with my sleep") assessing daily sleep disturbance. Sleep disturbance has been shown to impact daytime affect (see ten Brink et al, 2022 for a review). During the day, participants will be asked about situations and activities after each block of four prompts (e.g., recent stressful event, exercise, being alone or in company).…”

Introduction: Dissociation is a ubiquitous clinical phenomenon. Dissociative disorders (DD) are primarily characterized by dissociation, and dissociative states are also a criterion for borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the dissociative subtype of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dissociative reactions across diagnostic categories are believed to be affect contingent and theorized to serve affect regulation functions. What is not clear, however, is how self-reported affect and physiological reactivity unfold within dissociative episodes. To address this issue, the present project aims to investigate the hypothesis (1) whether self-reported distress (as indicated by arousal, e.g., feeling tense/agitated, and/or valence, e.g., feeling discontent/unwell) and physiological reactivity increase before dissociative episodes and (2) whether self-reported distress and physiological reactivity decrease during and after dissociative episodes in a transdiagnostic sample of patients with DD, BPD, and/or PTSD. Methods and analyses: We will use a smartphone application to assess affect and dissociation 12 times per day over the course of one week in everyday life. During this time, heart and respiratory rates will be remotely monitored. Afterwards, participants will report affect and dissociative states eight times in the laboratory before, during, and after the Trier Social Stress Test. During the laboratory task, we will continuously record heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and take salivary samples to determine cortisol levels. Our hypotheses will be tested using multilevel structural equation models. Power analyses determined a sample size of 85.

“…According to this view, daytime positive and negative affect exerts an influence on how one sleeps at night, and how one sleeps at night exerts an influence on next-day positive and negative affect. Extensive research has been conducted on this topic (for a recent review, see ten Brink, Dietch, et al, 2022). In particular, studies have found relations between certain sleep stages, which are characterized by different brain activity profiles, and pre-/post-sleep affect (see a brief review below).…”

SummaryIt has long been thought that links between affect and sleep are bidirectional. However, few studies have directly assessed the relationships between: (1) pre‐sleep affect and sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) activity; and (2) sleep EEG activity and post‐sleep affect. This study aims to systematically explore the correlations between pre‐/post‐sleep affect and EEG activity during sleep. In a community sample of adults (n = 51), we measured participants' positive and negative affect in the evening before sleep and in the next morning after sleep. Participants slept at their residence for 1 night of EEG recording. Using Fourier transforms, the EEG power at each channel was estimated during rapid eye movement sleep and non‐rapid eye movement sleep for the full range of sleep EEG frequencies. We first present heatmaps of the raw correlations between pre‐/post‐sleep affect and EEG power during rapid eye movement and non‐rapid eye movement sleep. We then thresholded the raw correlations with a medium effect size |r| ≥ 0.3. Using a cluster‐based permutation test, we identified a significant cluster indicating a negative correlation between pre‐sleep positive affect and EEG power in the alpha frequency range during rapid eye movement sleep. This result suggests that more positive affect during the daytime may be associated with less fragmented rapid eye movement sleep that night. Overall, our exploratory results lay the foundation for confirmatory research on the relationship between daytime affect and sleep EEG activity.
