使用整合的自我调节强度方法来研究睡眠随时间推移的好处，我们提出，周初睡眠充足(平均睡眠时长)和周初睡眠一致性(睡眠时长的变化)相互作用，可以预测对周末心理压力的最大缓冲。即使控制了与昼夜节律紊乱和睡眠质量相关的因素，结果也支持假设的交互作用。具体地说，充足睡眠的好处最好通过持续的睡眠资源补充来获得，而持续的睡眠实践需要足够的睡眠来缓解紧张的体验。这项研究提供了初步证据，表明睡眠作为一种补充资源的技术本身可能不足以减轻心理压力。继续探索持续睡眠的潜在资源增强方面，可能是压力管理研究的一个卓有成效的途径。就像其他被证明可以增强自我调节能力的日常活动一样，持续的睡眠可以作为一种有效的紧张干预，从而防止对急性和慢性健康的负面影响。版权所有(C)2009 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Using the integrated self-regulatory strength approach to the benefits of sleep over time, we proposed that early-week sleep sufficiency (average sleep duration) and early-week sleep consistency (variation in sleep duration) interact to predict the greatest buffer against late-week psychological strain. Results supported the hypothesized interaction, even when controlling for factors relating to circadian rhythm disruptions and sleep quality. Specifically, the benefits of sufficient sleep are best obtained through consistent sleep resource replenishment, and consistent sleep practices require a sufficient amount of sleep to mitigate the experience of strain. This study provided preliminary evidence that sleep as a technique for resource replenishment alone may not be enough to reduce psychological strain. Continued exploration of the potential resource-enhancement aspect of consistent sleep may be a fruitful avenue of stress management research. Much like other routine activities that have shown to increase self-regulatory strength, consistent sleep may serve as an effective strain intervention, thereby preventing negative acute and chronic health effects.
