- The study investigates how sleep quality impacts both daily positive and negative emotional fluctuations, rather than just looking at average emotional levels.
- It finds that poor sleep increases the relationship between daily mean levels of positive affect and its variability, while a negative affect variability is linked to worse subsequent sleep quality.
- The research highlights the importance of considering emotional variability in understanding how sleep affects mood and suggests that sleep quality might affect daily emotional stability, regardless of mental health status.
