Testing a Potential Bidirectional Relationship between Perseverative Thought and Sleep

Poster Session I

Keyword: Psychopathology

Abstract: We tested predictions of a bidirectional relationship between sleep and perseverative thought (PT) using ecological momentary assessment in 155 community adults oversampled for high PT. Lower-than-average sleep quality predicted more severe PT the next day, but not vice versa, suggestive of a prospective but potentially unidirectional relationship.
