- Abstract
Objective: Despite its high prevalence, little information exists on the incidence of insomnia among people who have experienced a stressful event related to marital relationship difficulties. The purpose of this study is therefore to estimate the incidence of insomnia and to identify the factors predisposing to its development. Method: The data used were obtained from a longitudinal sleep survey. The sample consists of 101 men and 243 women selected on the basis that they were all good sleepers at time 1 and reported experiencing a stressful relationship event in the subsequent year. Participants completed questionnaires assessing sleep status, stress management strategies, social support, and health behaviors. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the data to identify factors associated with the incidence of insomnia. Results: Among the total sample, 5.5% developed insomnia syndrome, 24.4% developed insomnia symptoms and 70.1% remained good sleepers. The study revealed a significant difference between the three groups in terms of emotional coping and the presence of a personal history of sleep difficulties. The mean score on the emotion-oriented subscale of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations of the insomnia syndrome group (M = 44.7) was significantly higher than that of the symptom group (M = 42.4) and the good sleepers group (M = 39.1). A greater proportion of participants with a history of sleep difficulties developed symptoms or the insomnia syndrome than those without. Conclusion: The development of insomnia following a stressful relationship event could be explained in part by using emotional coping strategies, a variable that is associated, according to the literature, with elevated cognitive activation before bedtime.
