The association between sleep disorders and resilience in persons with multiple sclerosis

While lower resilience has been connected to self-reported sleep problems in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), there has yet to be an examination with diagnosed sleep disorders.

Description
Summary:While lower resilience has been connected to self-reported sleep problems in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), there has yet to be an examination with diagnosed sleep disorders. This study examined differences in resilience (MS Resiliency Scale) between PwMS with sleep disorders (n = 27), sleep problems (n = 39), and no sleep disorders/problems (n = 46). PwMS with sleep disorders had significantly lower resilience than PwMS with no sleep disorders/problems (p = .035), with support from family and friends driving this difference. These findings further illustrate the connection between sleep and resilience in PwMS, highlighting the importance of social support in this relationship.
