N2  - Sleep quality (SQ) impacts health yet many university students get poor sleep. Self-compassion (SC)-care for oneself during challenging times-is associated with SQ yet how SC has these effects is unclear. This study cross-sectionally examined whether SC is negatively related to poor SQ and whether proactive health focus and cognitive emotional regulation strategies (CERS) mediate this relationship. University students (N = 193) self-reported SC, proactive health focus, CERS, and SQ. SC negatively associated with poor SQ (r = -0.34) and self-blame mediated this (b = 0.08, 95% CI [0.01, 0.16]). SC may improve SQ through reducing self-blame.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
