Cover Story: The article is a continuation of our work exploring biopsychosocial factors that impact the mental and physical wellbeing of college students. The current study uses a biopsychosocial approach to examine how interpersonal stressors, fear of missing out (FoMO), and insomnia interact to impact mental health. We chose these factors as important contributions to the specific social, biological, and psychological challenges experienced in the college years. Using path analysis, insomnia partially mediated significant associations of interpersonal stress and FoMO with mental health. The pathway from interpersonal stress and/or FoMO, through insomnia, significantly predicts compromises in mental health. These associations may be modifiable through behavioral interventions focusing on coping skills and sleep hygiene, and even technology-related habit changes. View this paper
