abstract="BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is detrimental to sleep quality and increases aggression among college students. Nevertheless, relevant studies were rare. Hence, we collected longitudinal data during and post-campus closure in the current study to investigate the relationship between sleep disturbance and aggression. <br><br>METHODS: Data from 665 college students (59.2% females, Mean(age) = 19.01, SD (age) = 1.25) were collected before (wave 1) and after (wave 2) the campus closure of COVID-19. All participants were asked to fill out the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire and the Youth Self-Rating Insomnia Scale. Two symptom networks and a cross-lagged panel network were formed and tested. <br><br>RESULTS: Hostility has the highest centrality in the symptom network both in waves 1 and 2, and it bridges sleep disturbance and aggression. &quot;Easily be woken&quot; - &quot;wake up too early&quot; and &quot;wake up with tired&quot; - &quot;function hindrance&quot; are two important symptom associations in networks of waves 1 and 2. All symptoms except &quot;difficulty in falling asleep&quot; and &quot;easily be woken&quot; ameliorated after closure. Moreover, &quot;physical aggression&quot; and &quot;hostility&quot; can trigger other symptoms in wave 2. <br><br>CONCLUSION: As the first study about aggression and sleep disturbance in the background of COVID-19, we provide valuable information about the relationship between sleep disturbance and aggression on the symptom dimension.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
