abstract="BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Although sleep problems are linked to relationship difficulties, the mechanisms involved have not been empirically demonstrated. The present study considers self-control as such a mechanism. PARTICIPANTS: Data were collected from 342 predominantly white, middle-class, married adults. <br><br>METHOD: Participants completed online questionnaires about sleep, marital aggression, and self-control, and a virtual voodoo doll task. <br><br>RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Sleep problems were associated with higher levels of aggression on all measures, and lower self-control mediated these associations. Associations did not depend on participant gender, presence of children in the home, income, or length of marriage.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
