Abstract

We examined sleep hygiene and ideal affect using a sample of 1,000 online worker participants. Participants with bad sleep hygiene desired both high-arousal and low-arousal negative emotions more than participants with average or good sleep hygiene. We conclude that desired negative emotions may negatively impact sleep health.
