Sleep and Wellbeing – How Does the Sleep Quality Influence Our Hedonic and Eudaimonic Wellbeing?

by Patricia Groß | Mar 23, 2023 | Paper, Psychology

How exactly does sleep contribute to our well-being?

In this paper by Patricia Groß you will be led into sleep research by showcasing how a hypothesis would be tested and an experiment conducted. Along the lines of the classic form of an academic paper, you will be given an introduction to the topic, previous studies and the research question at first. Subsequently, the experimental design and the measurements are presented to you, followed by a short analysis. Note that this paper is only mimicking an experimental study! It was written in a seminar and as a literature review, aiming to familiarize students with the design of their own experimental study.

Spoiler Alert:

Surprisingly, there is little information on the exact mechanisms underlying the connection of sleep and well-being, and even more so when it comes to specific notions of well-being such as hedonic or eudaimonic.

“Wellbeing is the ultimate goal for many people. Some decades ago questions about wellbeing were almost exclusively discussed from philosophers. During the last century other disciplines joined the discussion. The interplay of the disciplines fascinates me especially when it comes to wellbeing. Further, we all sleep about a thrid of our life and I personally experienced that good sleep is the foundation for my wellbeing. Thus, I wanted to know what is known about the relationship between these two topics. I chosse to distinct between two types of wellbeing, as this is usually done within current (psyhology) wellbeing research.”
