The Association between Psychological Distress and Self-Reported Sleep Duration in a Population-Based Sample of Women and Men
Mental health and sleep are intricately linked. This study characterized associations of psychological distress with short (≤6 hours) and long (≥9 hours) sleep duration among adults aged ≥18 years. 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (n=36,859) from Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, Tenn...
