“…It has also been shown that under conditions of sleep deprivation there is a decrease in emotional intelligence-a trait similar to alexithymia (Killgore et al, 2008). More specifically, this study reported a decrease in the intrapersonal functioning component of emotional intelligence which is concerned with knowing and understanding our feelings (Killgore et al, 2008).…”

A B S T R A C TRecent evidence suggests that sleep problems are associated with psychotic like experiences including paranoia. However, the mechanisms underpinning this association are not well understood and thus studies modelling hypothesised mediating factors are required. Alexithymia, the inability to recognise and describe emotions within the self may be an important candidate. In two separate studies we sought to investigate factors mediating the relationship between sleep quality and paranoia using a cross-sectional design. Healthy volunteers without a mental health diagnosis were recruited (study 1, N = 401, study 2, N = 402). Participants completed a series of measures assessing paranoia, negative emotions, alexithymia and perceptual anomalies in an online survey. In study 1, regression and mediation analyses showed that the relationship between sleep quality and paranoia was partially mediated by alexithymia, perceptual anomalies and negative affect. In contrast, study 2 found that the relationship between sleep quality and paranoia was fully mediated by negative affect, alexithymia and perceptual anomalies. The link between sleep quality and paranoia is unclear and reasons for discrepant results are discussed. Novel findings in this study include the link between alexithymia and paranoia.

“…Sleep deprivation is negatively associated with emotional intelligence and is linked to impairments in interpersonal functioning, stress management, and coping (Killgore, et al, 2008). Additionally, insomnia and emotional dysregulation individually appear to be uniquely associated with psychopathology severity (Fairholme, Nosen, Nillni, Schumacher, Tull & Coffey, 2013).…”

“…Personality traits and one's trait emotional intelligence may comprise predispositions to insomnia symptoms (Harvey, et al, 2014;van de Laar, et al, 2010) and perhaps complaints of NRS. Increases of neuroticism, decreases of conscientiousness, or decreases in TEI may play a role in development and maintenance of insomnia and daytime impairment of NRS (Killgore, et al, 2008;Ohayon, 2005;Williams & Moroz, 2009). …”

“…Sleep loss produces temporary changes in cerebral metabolism, cognition, emotion, and behavior consistent with mild prefrontal lobe dysfunction including problems with motivation, empathy, flexibility, planning and organization, behavioral inhibition, emotional blunting and affective dysregulation, and insight (Barrash, Tranel, & Anderson, 2000;Killgore et al, 2008, Spinella, 2005. Aspects of emotional self-assessment may be adversely affected by sleep deprivation (Killgore et al, 2008).…”

Insomnia is defined by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking earlier than desired with inability to return to sleep. Complaints of nonrestorative sleep (NRS) are often associated with insomnia but can occur independently. Fragmented sleep and NRS have been shown to relate to one's mood, one's ability to process their own or others' emotions, and can lead to changes in cognitions and behaviors. Personality traits related to increases in anxiousness may play a role in the development and maintenance of sleep disorders and associated daytime impairment of NRS. The relations between sleep disturbance, personality traits, and trait emotional intelligence are underrepresented in the current literature and findings have been mixed. This study addressed some inconsistencies by identifying associations between the Big Five personality traits, trait emotional intelligence (TEI), complaints of NRS, and disrupted sleep associated with insomnia. We predicted that neuroticism would relate to poorer sleep and that conscientiousness and TEI would be associated with better sleep. Openness to experience, extraversion, and agreeableness are not often discussed in the literature, but were expected to associate similarly as conscientiousness. Results provided support for the idea that trait characteristics are associated with insomnia severity and restorative sleep quality. These findings indicated that personality and TEI may play a role in development and maintenance of sleep disorders and daytime impairment of NRS; higher conscientiousness, lower neuroticism, and higher TEI possibly demonstrate a protective role to experiencing negative effects of poor sleep.
