Abstract
Depression and sleep quality have both been linked to autobiographical memory disturbance but have seldom been studied simultaneously. This study explores sleep quality as a potential mediator in the relationship between depression and overgeneralized memory. The use of sleep medication and sleep latency predict overgeneralized memory above and beyond depression.
