“…Second, this study tested a wide range of psychological health variables, including both health risk indicators and outcomes. The health outcomes studieddepression, poor sleep quality and anxiety -are those that are highly prevalent in the sample studied (Buboltz et al, 2001;Mackenzie et al, 2011;Wittchen et al, 1998). Moreover, both the health risk indicators and outcomes predict future poor health (Achat et al, 2000;Chida & Steptoe, 2009;Gopinath et al, 2007;Krueger & Friedman, 2009;Leiker & Hailey, 1988;McGee & Williams, 2000;Scheier & Carver, 1992;Trzesniewski et al, 2006;Woodward & Fergusson, 2001).…”

“…Health was measured both in the form of health outcomes, including depression, poor sleep quality and anxiety, and health risk indicators, including hostility, optimism and self-esteem. Depression (Mackenzie et al, 2011), sleep problems (Buboltz, Brown, & Soper, 2001) and anxiety (Wittchen, Nelson, & Lachner, 1998) are common for young adults. Moreover, early instances of depression (Gopinath, Katon, Russo, & Ludman, 2007), poor sleep quality (Krueger & Friedman, 2009) and anxiety (Woodward & Fergusson, 2001), predict both later relapse and worse long-term health.…”

Objective: Emotion regulation (ER) strategies are related to psychological health, with most work examining reappraisal and suppression. Yet, emerging findings suggest that rumination may have stronger relationships with psychological health, namely depression, than other ER strategies. This paper replicated and extended this work by testing whether rumination was independently associated with a range of poor psychological health risk indicators and outcomes. In addition, it explored whether the reason why rumination is so deleterious to health is because it underlies the stress-health relationship. Design: Participants (n = 218) completed measures online. Main outcome measures: Surveys assessed ER strategies (reappraisal, suppression, proactive coping, emotion support seeking, and rumination), health risk indicators (hostility, optimism, self-esteem), health outcomes (depression, poor sleep quality, anxiety) and perceived chronic stress. Results: Multivariate regression analyses revealed rumination as the only ER strategy with a consistent independent effect on all the health risk indicators and outcomes. Bootstrapping analyses revealed indirect effects of perceived chronic stress on all the health variables via rumination. Conclusion: Rumination had a deleterious relationship with psychological health, perhaps because rumination underlies the relationship between stress and psychological health. Results have implications for interventions, particularly emphasizing the need to target ruminative thinking after stressful experiences.

“…Indeed, 7% to 20% of people report their insomnia symptoms started before age 20, and another 11.4% report their symptoms started when they were 21 to 30 years old (Bixler, Kales, Soldatos, Kales, & Healey, 1979;Kales et al, 1984). Despite the high prevalence of insomnia in the young adult population, the disorder is an underrecognized problem in this group (Buboltz, Brown, & Soper, 2001;Hardison et al, 2005). This might explain why the relationship between sleep and mental health in young adults has been understudied.…”

Study Objectives:We examined the effects of a cognitive behavioral self-help program (Refresh) to improve sleep, on sleep quality and symptoms of depression among first-year college students. Methods: Students in one residence hall (n = 48) participated in Refresh and students in another residence hall (n = 53) participated in a program of equal length (Breathe) designed to improve mood and increase resilience to stress. Both programs were delivered by e-mail in 8 weekly PDF files. Of these, 19 Refresh program participants and 15 Breathe program participants reported poor sleep quality at baseline (scores ≥ 5 on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]). Participants completed the PSQI and the Center for Epidemiological StudiesDepression Scale (CES-D) at baseline and post-intervention. Results: Among students with poor sleep (PSQI > 5) at baseline, participation in Refresh was associated with greater improvements in sleep quality and greater reduction in depressive symptoms than participation in Breathe. Among students with high sleep quality at baseline there was no difference in baseline to post-intervention changes in sleep (PSQI) or depressive symptom severity (CES-D). Conclusions: A cognitive behavioral sleep improvement program delivered by e-mail may be a cost effective way for students with poor sleep quality to improve their sleep and reduce depressive symptoms. An important remaining question is whether improving sleep will also reduce risk for future depression.

S C I E N T I F I C I N V E S T I G A T I O N SC ollege students often have erratic sleep schedules, poor sleep hygiene, and correspondingly poor sleep quality. 1One report suggests that as many as 89% of college students report poor quality sleep. 2 Inadequate or poor quality sleep may put students at increased risk for developing unipolar depressive disorders. [3][4][5][6] In 1989, Ford and Kamerow published data suggesting that poor sleep is a risk factor for subsequent clinical depression and that further research is needed to determine if early recognition and treatment of sleep disturbance can prevent subsequent psychiatric problems. 4 Since then, several authors have published empirical evidence indicating disturbed sleep, measured by self-report or with polysomnography 6 is a risk factor for subsequent depression. 3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Poor sleep is a predictor of subsequent depression during adolescence, 5 and continues to constitute a risk in young 3,7 and older adults. 11,12 There is a dose response relationship between sleep disturbance in adolescence and subsequent symptoms of depression, with severe sleep disturbance incurring greater risk than moderate disturbance. 13 It is therefore important to develop and test the feasibility of potentially cost-effective interventions to improve sleep among a...
