Abstract

Emotion differentiation (ED) and polarity (EP) are both considered indices of emotion flexibility and vital to psychological health and functioning. We explored associations between sleep difficulties and ED/EP in an at-risk sample of adults following traumatic events. Greater sleep onset latency and disturbance predicted poorer ED and EP respectively.
