Abstract

Objective

This study was performed to investigate the associations of life event stress with impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood as a function of the presence of a sleep disturbance.

Methods

In total, 214 participants (age 38.96±10.53 years; 111 females) completed self-report questionnaires, including the Life Experience Survey (LES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Barratt’s Impulsivity Scale (BIS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The presence of a sleep disturbance was defined as a PSQI score >5.

Results

In total, 127 participants presented with a sleep disturbance (age 39.33±10.92 years; 64 females), whereas the remaining 87 did not (age 38.43±9.97 years; 47 females). Negative LES scores were significantly correlated with BIS (r=0.22, p=0.001), BAI (r=0.46, p< 0.001), and BDI (r=0.51, p<0.001) scores, and PSQI scores were significantly correlated with BAI (r=0.49, p<0.001) and BDI (r=0.60, p< 0.001) scores. Moderation analysis revealed statistically significant interactions between negative LES scores and the presence of a sleep disturbance on BIS (p=0.044) and BDI (p=0.014) but not on BAI (p=0.194) scores.

Conclusion

The findings of the present study suggest that life event stress has varying degrees of influence on mental health, especially impulsivity and depressed mood, depending on the presence or absence of a sleep disturbance.

Keywords: Sleep-wake disorders, Psychological stress, Mental health

INTRODUCTION

Modern life is associated with various stressful events, which are known to have an effect on both physiological and psychological health [1,2]. Specifically, the high stress levels caused by everyday life events (i.e., life event stress) are clearly associated with symptoms of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety [3-6]. Other studies have reported a positive correlation between life event stress and impulsivity [7,8].

The harmful effect of sleep disturbance on mental health has also been well documented. Individuals with sleep disturbance have been reported to show increased depressive mood and anxiety [9-12]. Baglioni et al. [10]. reported that individuals with sleep disturbance have twice the risk of developing depression compared to those without sleep disturbance, and Spoormaker and van den Bout [12]. reported that anxiety is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with insomnia. Other studies have shown that sleep disturbance is also significantly correlated with impulsivity [13,14]. For example, a study using a sleep loss paradigm indicated that sleep-deprived individuals show increased impulsivity in response to negative stimuli [14].

Both life event stress and sleep disturbance have well-established relationships with impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood. However, it is important to note that stress and sleep disturbance are closely connected phenomena, and stress plays a role as a significant predictor of sleep disturbance [15,16]. Drake et al. suggested that dispositional vulnerability to sleep disturbance in the presence of stressors may be a predictive factor for mental disorders, such as depression [17-19]. Therefore, it may be beneficial to investigate the effects of the interaction of life event stress and sleep disturbance on mental health.

To our knowledge, there have been no previous studies regarding the effects of the interaction of life event stress and sleep disturbance on mental health. In the present study, we examined how the associations of life event stress with impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood change in the presence of sleep disturbance. Both life event stress and sleep disturbance were postulated to be associated with impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies. We also hypothesized that the presence of sleep disturbance may mediate the associations of life event stress with impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood.

METHODS

Participants and procedure

Participants in the present study were recruited via ads placed on message boards in the Center for Sleep and Chronobiology at Seoul National University Hospital. Individuals with psychiatric, medical, and sleep disorders were excluded, and 227 healthy adults were enrolled. Participants were asked to respond to questionnaires, including the Life Experience Survey (LES) [20,21], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [22,23], Barratt’s Impulsivity Scale (BIS) [24,25], Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) [26,27], and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) [28,29]. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Seoul National University Hospital (IRB No. 1608-160-788). All participants provided written informed consent after receiving a full description of the study.

Assessments

The LES is a self-report measure of experience with 60 major life events that may have occurred in the recent past. Of the 60 original items, we excluded 10 designed for students, leaving 50 items on the final measure. Each event that the respondent has encountered within past 6 months is rated from -3 (extremely negative) to +3 (extremely positive). The present study used the absolute value of the sum of the negative event ratings as an index of participants’ life event-related stress levels; higher scores indicated higher levels of stress.

The PSQI is a questionnaire measuring the overall quality of sleep within the past 4 weeks. It consists of 19 self-rated items divided into seven component scores ranging from 0 to 3: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medications, and daytime dysfunction. The sum of the seven components, the global PSQI score, can range between 0 and 21, with global scores >5 indicating a poor quality of sleep.

The BIS is a 23-item self-report measure that assesses impulsive tendencies. The sum of all the items reflects overall impulsivity, with higher BIS scores indicating higher levels of impulsivity.

The BAI is a tool used to measure the common symptoms of anxiety. The scale consists of 21 items, and higher BAI scores indicate more anxiety.

The BDI is a 21-item self-report measure that assesses the severity of depressive symptoms. Higher BDI scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.

Statistical analysis

Descriptive statistics on age, gender, and clinical variables were calculated. Self-report questionnaire scores more than three standard deviations above or below the mean were regarded as outliers and were excluded from the analysis. Participants were also divided into two groups, poor sleepers (PS) and good sleepers (GS), according to whether their PSQI scores were >5. The t test was used to compare the differences between the groups in negative LES, BIS, BAI, and BDI scores. Correlation analyses were also performed to examine the associations of negative LES and PSQI scores with BIS, BAI, and BDI scores. Partial correlation coefficients adjusted for age and gender were calculated. Finally, three separate moderation analyses were performed to investigate whether the effects of negative LES scores on BIS, BAI, and BDI scores were moderated by the presence of a sleep disturbance (i.e., PS group vs. GS group). Moderation analysis is used to determine the conditions under which the strength of an association between two variables varies. Instead of using fixed regression coefficients for covariates, in the moderation analysis, we treated the regression coefficient as a function of the independent variable to analyze the moderating effect of the covariate. The negative LES, BIS, BAI, and BDI scores were mean-centered in the current moderation analyses to avoid multicollinearity given the high intercorrelations. IBM SPSS 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for all statistical calculations, and PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to carry out moderation analyses [30].

RESULTS

Participants characteristics

Thirteen of the total of 227 participants were excluded due to incomplete questionnaires, and 214 (mean age±SD, 38.96 ±10.53 years; 111 females) were included in the final analysis. Baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Based on a PSQI cutoff score of 5, the PS group consisted of 127 participants (mean age±SD, 39.33±10.92 years; 64 females), and the GS group consisted of 87 participants (mean age±SD, 38.43± 9.97 years; 47 females). There were no significant differences in age, gender, or BIS scores between the PS and GS groups. The PS group had significantly higher negative LES (mean±SD, 5.68±5.18 vs. 4.39±4.87, respectively; p<0.001), PSQI (mean± SD, 9.06±3.01 vs. 6.94±3.52, respectively; p<0.001), BAI (mean ±SD, 11.29±8.62 vs. 8.79±8.39, respectively; p<0.001), and BDI (mean±SD, 11.48±8.78 vs. 8.55±8.09, respectively; p<0.001) scores compared to the GS group.

Correlational of negative LES and PSQI with BIS, BAI, and BDI

Table 2 shows the correlations between the age- and genderadjusted negative LES and PSQI scores with the BIS, BAI, and BDI scores in the total sample. Negative LES scores were significantly positively correlated with BIS (r=0.22, p=0.001), BAI (r=0.46, p<0.001), and BDI (r=0.51, p<0.001) scores. PSQI scores were significantly positively correlated with BAI (r= 0.49, p<0.001) and BDI (r=0.60, p<0.001) scores but not with BIS scores (r=0.11, p=0.120).

Moderating effect of the presence of sleep disturbance on the relationship of negative LES with BIS, BAI, and BDI

We examined the role of sleep disturbance (i.e., PS vs. GS) as a moderator of the relationships between negative LES scores and BIS, BAI, and BDI scores. The results of the moderation analysis are summarized in Table 3. First, the presence of a sleep disturbance had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between negative LES and BIS scores (p=0.044). In the PS group, a high negative LES score was significantly associated with a high BIS score, but this was not the case in the GS group (Figure 1A; PS, B=0.60, p=0.001; GS, B=-0.06, p=0.800). Second, the presence of a sleep disturbance did not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between negative LES and BAI scores (p=0.194). Finally, the effect of the interaction between negative LES scores and the presence of a sleep disturbance on BDI scores was statistically significant (p=0.014). Although negative LES scores showed a significant correlation with BDI scores in both groups, the correlation was stronger in the PS group than in the GS group (Figure 1B; PS, B=0.85, p<0.001; GS, B=0.30, p=0.016).

DISCUSSION

The present study found positive correlations between life event stress and impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood and positive correlations between sleep disturbance and anxiety and depressed mood. We also observed that sleep disturbance mediated the associations of life event stress with impulsivity and depressed mood. Life event stress was associated with increased impulsivity only in participants with a sleep disturbance. Moreover, life event stress was more strongly correlated with depressed mood in participants with a sleep disturbance than in those without a sleep disturbance. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the moderating effects of sleep disturbances on associations between life event stress and mental health.

Our findings support those of previous studies showing that life event stress and sleep disturbances are associated with anxiety and depressed mood. Tennant’s meta-analytic studies found that life event stressors were associated with increased risk of depression [3], and Williams et al. [6] found a relationship between life event stress and anxiety. Spoormaker and Boult reported a strong association between sleep disturbances and depression/anxiety complaints [12]. Our findings also suggest that life event stress and sleep disturbances play critical roles in stressinduced impulsivity, consistent with Anderson and Platten’s [14] report that sleep deprivation enhanced impulsive reactions to negative stimuli. A potential neural explanation is that decreased prefrontal activity and prefrontal-limbic connectivity in those with sleep disturbances [31,32] may result in limbic system hyperactivation, which is associated with increased impulsiveness [33,34].

The association between life event stress and depressed mood was more prominent in participants with a sleep disturbance than in those without a sleep disturbance. Thus, having a sleep disturbance may promote the development of a depressed mood in the context of life event stress. Although the mechanism by which a sleep disturbance facilitated the development of a depressed mood is not clear, a number of hypotheses have been proposed. One is a learned helplessness model in which those who had insomnia for a long period with little improvement may not even try to escape from it. This is one of the major psychological theories used to explain the development of depression [35]. Hypercortisolism, observed in some of patients with insomnia, may also contribute to the development of depressed mood [36]. Those with a sleep disturbance, who are at increased risk of depression may become more depressed after life event stress in comparison with those who are not depressed.

Unlike impulsivity or depressed mood, we found no moderating effect of sleep disturbance on the association of anxiety with life event stress. Although the association between anxiety and sleep disturbance is widely acknowledged [9,12], there are controversies regarding the mechanism underlying this association. One prospective study investigated the directions of the relationship between anxiety and insomnia over a 1-year period, and the results indicated that, although anxiety has a bidirectional relationship with insomnia, it has more power as a predictor of future insomnia than vice versa [37]. The role of anxiety as a cause of sleep disturbances may explain why such disturbances have little influence on stress-induced anxiety.

This study had several limitations. First, it was difficult to confirm the causal relationships among recent life event stress, the presence of a sleep disturbance, and the mental health status of participants in this cross-sectional study. Additional research, including a longitudinal follow up to confirm the effects of the interaction of sleep disturbances and life event stress on mental health, is needed. Second, although we enrolled only healthy adults in this study, it is possible that undiagnosed comorbid factors, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, or sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, may have influenced sleep independent of the effects of impulsivity, anxiety, and depressed mood. Third, we measured self-reported sleep quality with a self-rating scale but did not objectively evaluate sleep characteristics with polysomnography. Finally, we surveyed negative life experiences over the most recent 6 months; thus, the effects of serious events that may have occurred earlier were not considered in this analysis.

The results of the present study suggest that life event stress has varying degrees of influence on mental health depending on the presence of a sleep disturbance. This possible association provided insight not only into the mechanism by which life event stress and sleep disturbance affect metal health but also into the search for therapeutic options for those who experience psychiatric problems after stressful events. Prospective studies will be required to determine whether improving sleep quality by medication or by cognitive-behavioral intervention is beneficial for reducing the mental health problems associated with life event stress.
