Sleep is a fundamental health behavior that has profound implications for an individual's well-being. Worry has been recognized as a major cause of sleep problems, but it remains unclear how middle-aged adults' worries about their adult children and aging parents are associated with their sleep on a daily basis. Middle-aged adults (N = 191; Mage = 55.93) were interviewed for 7 consecutive days (Nday = 1,261). Participants reported on the time they went to bed, the time they woke up, and the quality of sleep on each interview day. Daily interviews also assessed participants' worries about each adult child (n = 454) and each aging parent (n = 253). Multilevel models showed that middle-aged adults' prior day's worries about adult children were associated with poorer sleep quality that night. After they experienced a good night's sleep, middle-aged adults were less likely to worry about their parents. Findings suggest a daily link between worries about family members and sleep among middle-aged adults. Worries about family members are associated with poorer sleep quality at night; poorer sleep quality is related to an increased risk of worrying about family members on the subsequent day. Our findings suggest the development and implementation of interventions to promote sleep health in multigenerational families is warranted.

中年人的日常睡眠以及对年迈父母和成年子女的担忧。

睡眠是一种基本的健康行为，对个人的福祉具有深远的影响。忧虑已被认为是睡眠问题的主要原因，但目前尚不清楚中年人对成年子女和年迈父母的忧虑与他们的日常睡眠有何关系。连续 7 天（Nday = 1,261）对中年人（N = 191；Mage = 55.93）进行访谈。参与者报告了每个采访日的就寝时间、起床时间以及睡眠质量。每日访谈还评估了参与者对每个成年子女 (n = 454) 和每个年迈父母 (n = 253) 的担忧。多层次模型显示，中年人前一天对成年子女的担忧与当晚睡眠质量较差有关。在经历了一夜良好的睡眠后，中年人不太可能担心父母。研究结果表明，中年人对家庭成员的担忧与睡眠之间存在日常联系。对家人的担忧与夜间睡眠质量较差有关；睡眠质量较差与第二天担心家人的风险增加有关。我们的研究结果表明，有必要制定和实施促进多代家庭睡眠健康的干预措施。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
