Further validation of the daytime sleepiness perception scale
Sleepiness is one of the possible diurnal consequences of insomnia. However, this construct demands appropriate measures to cover its different dimensions. Previous studies have shown that daytime sleepiness perception is likely the most relevant sleepiness facet of insomnia. The purpose of the current study was to enhance the psychometric properties of the Daytime Sleepiness Perception Scale (DSPS-4), which is a brief self-report instrument cons…
Circadian dynamics of explicit memory performance in youth
Cognitive performance oscillates throughout the day depending on an individual's chronotype, with synchrony effects being reported in memory performance. To examine these effects in an ecologically-valid setting, 74 children (M = 8.39years, SD = .54; 34 morning-types, 40 evening-types) and 79 adolescents (M = 13.05years, SD = .39; 41 morning-types, 38 evening-types) were selected based on chronotype. Participants underwent neuropsychological asse…
The European Portuguese version of the Fear of Missing Out scale (FoMOs-P) in higher education students
This study adapted and validated the European Portuguese version of the Fear of Missing Out scale (FoMOs-P) and determined an “optimal” cutoff score for higher education students with high social media engagement. Five hundred Portuguese students ( M = 22.37, SD = 5.68) completed FoMOs-P and measures of sleep quality, rumination, and social media. Following previous conflicting results, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to compare …
Perceived Causes of Sleep Problems in Higher Education Students
The major purpose of the present study was to explore higher education students' perceptions of the causes of their sleep problems. The data were drawn from a previous cross-sectional online survey, from which only the questions relevant to this study were selected, including items on sleep disturbances and their causes. The participants included 1519 full-time students (76% women), aged 18-30 years ( M = 20.9, SD = 2.3); 95.3% were single and st…

A preliminary study on the association between social media at night and sleep quality
Research shows that nighttime social media is negatively associated with sleep quality and that it might be utilized to cope with aversive psychological states related to cognitive pre‐sleep arousal (i.e., transdiagnostic psychopathology variables, referring to maladaptive repetitive thought), namely Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). The use of nighttime social media to cope with other aversive cognitive states (i.e., worry/rumination), their relations…
Mindfulness profiles in a sample of self-reported sleep disturbance individuals
Portuguese Version of the Arousal Predisposition Scale
It is known that there is significant variability in arousal levels of the individuals. The Arousal Predisposition Scale (APS) is a questionnaire intended to measure individual differences in arousability. In the current work, our aim was to present the initial psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the APS. Three hundred forty-five undergraduate medical students from both genders were enrolled. All participants filled out a set of …
European Portuguese Adaptation of Glasgow Content of Thoughts Inventory (GCTI)
Persistent cognitive activity is an important factor in disturbing sleep-onset both during bedtime and when attempting to get back to sleep after nocturnal awakenings. One of the most specific self-report measures designed to assess this feature is the Glasgow Content of Thoughts Inventory (GCTI). In this study, we investigated the preliminary psychometric properties of GCTI in a large sample of higher education European Portuguese students (N = …
