TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Coping with a major stressor: differences between habitual short- and longer-sleepers JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Hicks, R. A. A1 - Marical, C. M. A1 - Conti, P. A. SP - 631 EP - 636 VL - 72 IS - 2 N2 - We compared the coping strategies of 39 short-sleepers and 33 longer-sleepers to the stresses associated with the October 17, 1989 San Francisco Bay Area earthquake using their responses to the eight scales of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Over-all, the short-sleepers scored significantly higher on this questionnaire and in general, the pattern of their responses was consistent with inferences that could be drawn from a 1972 paper by Hartmann, Baekeland, and Zwilling.
