焦虑症是青年人最常见的心理健康障碍。睡眠相关问题（SRPs）在焦虑的年轻人中非常普遍，包括各种问题，包括夜间恐惧，失眠和拒绝独自睡觉。鉴于慢性睡眠障碍与青少年的一系列行为和身体问题有关，并可预测未来的精神病理学，因此阐明焦虑青少年中SRPs的性质非常重要。本研究调查了101名6-17岁焦虑青年的睡眠问题和焦虑敏感性之间的关系。焦虑敏感性的提高显著预测了整个样本中睡眠开始潜伏期的延长，即使在考虑了焦虑、抑郁和年龄的严重程度之后。结果支持以前的研究表明，SRPs是常见的焦虑青年，并建议焦虑敏感性可能发挥特别重要的作用，在睡眠开始潜伏期。
Anxiety disorders constitute the most common mental health disturbance experienced by youth. Sleep-related problems (SRPs) are highly prevalent among anxious youth and encompass a variety of problems including nighttime fears, insomnia, and refusal to sleep alone. Given that chronic sleep disturbance is associated with a range of behavioral and physical problems in youth and predicts future psychopathology, it is important to elucidate the nature of SRPs in anxious youth. The present study investigated the relationship between sleep problems and anxiety sensitivity in a sample of 101 anxious youth, ages 6–17. Heightened anxiety sensitivity significantly predicted prolonged sleep onset latency across the sample, even after accounting for severity of anxiety, depression, and age. Results support previous research indicating that SRPs are common among anxious youth and suggest that anxiety sensitivity may play a particularly important role in sleep onset latency.
