0178 The Cycle of Daily Stress and Sleep: Sleep Measurement Matters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Disturbed sleep can be both a cause and a consequence of increased stress. Yet intensive longitudinal studies have demonstrated that sleep assessed via sleep diaries and actigraphy is inconsistently associated with daily stress. We expanded this research by examining daily associations between sleep and stress using a three-fold approach to assess sleep: sleep diaries, actigraphy, and ambulatory single-channel electroencephalography [EEG]. Methods Participants were 80 adults (M age = 32.65 years, 63% female) who completed 7 days of sleep and perceived stress assessments in a naturalistic setting (resulting in 560 possible measurement occasions). Multilevel models were used to examine bidirectional associations between daily stressor occurrence (0 = stressor did not occur, 1 = stressor occurred) and stressor severity (0 = not at all severe to 3 = very severe) and sleep parameters assessed via diary, actigraphy, and EEG (e.g. total sleep time [TST], sleep efficiency [SE], and sleep onset latency [SOL], wake after sleep onset [WASO]). Results Participants reported at least one stressor on 37% of days. Compared to days without a stressor experienced, days with a stressor were associated with a 14.4-minute reduction in actigraphy-determined TST the subsequent night (β = -0.24, p = 0.030). Nights with greater sleep-diary determined WASO were associated with greater next-day stressor severity (β = 0.01, p = .026). No EEG-determined sleep parameters were associated with next-day stressor occurrence or severity, or vice versa. Conclusion Daily stress and sleep disturbances occurred in a bidirectional fashion, though specific results varied by sleep measurement technique and sleep parameter. Together, our results highlight that type of sleep measurement matters for examining associations with daily stress. We urge future researchers to treat sleep diaries, actigraphy, and EEG as complementary — not redundant — sleep measurement approaches.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
