| Summary: | Introduction: This study examined the relationship between
dissatisfaction with cutaneous body image and insomnia symptoms, incorporating the
mediating role of monitoring for signs of poor-sleep on awakening and throughout the day.
Methods: Two hundred twenty-one participants completed The Insomnia Severity Index,
Cutaneous Body Image Scale, and subscales of the Sleep Associated Monitoring Index.
Results: The results demonstrated that insomnia symptoms were significantly associated with
a greater dissatisfaction with cutaneous body image. Moreover, this relationship was
partially mediated by sleep associated monitoring on awakening, but not throughout the day.
Conclusions: These findings provide further understanding of the potential mechanisms
underlying negative self-perceptions of physical appearance in insomnia. |
