Group 1: 96.6% females, mean age=23.21 and SD=1.146).
Methods
Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire that included the pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and optimism index
(OI). A PSQI global score equal to or greater than 5 indicated insomnia.
Results
There is a negative correlation between insomnia and PSQI and OI was found to be (r =-0.342, p<0.01) which means a higher
level of optimism is related to better sleep quality and more sleeping difficulties relate to lower level of optimism.
