Study Links Midlife Sleep Problems to Declining Psychological Well-Being Years Later, Especially in Women
By
Megan Brooks
Summary
A longitudinal study analyzing data from the MIDUS study found that sleep problems reported in midlife were associated with poorer psychological well-being nearly a decade later. The association remained significant among women but not among men after adjusting for demographic, health, and baseline psychological factors. The findings challenge the notion that sleep problems are a normal part of aging and suggest they may have important long-term implications for well-being.
