Cover Story: Insufficient sleep quality is highly prevalent in modern societies and has major health consequences. In this article, we propose that self-compassion as a warm and caring attitude towards one´s own shortcomings can make people less vulnerable to sleep problems and can help them to deal with psychosocial stressors responsible for poor sleep quality. In a seven-year research program conducted in Germany, we investigated whether self-compassion (as a disposition or as an intervention-based inner attitude) can increase sleep quality. Across nine studies, our review supports both correlational and causal relationships between self-compassion and increased subjective sleep quality across diverse operationalizations and samples. Future research should focus on the moderating effects of intervention type, duration of intervention effects, and target population. View this paper.
