Article Synopsis
  • A study explored the connection between sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) among 74 medical students in Guangdong, China, using various questionnaires and ECG monitoring.
  • Results indicated that 41.7% of participants experienced poor sleep quality linked to higher depressive symptoms and negative emotions, but no significant difference in HRV was found between those with low and high sleep quality scores.
  • Correlation analyses revealed a strong relationship between sleep quality and depression, while specific sleep disturbances were negatively correlated with HRV indices, suggesting potential clinical value in using HRV to monitor sleep quality.
