Toward an individual differences approach to habitual short sleep duration: a reply to Massar and Chee

[摘要] In an insightful Letter to the Editor (this issue), Massar and Chee elaborate on one interpretation of the findings of our recent report indicating that self-reported habitual short sleep duration is associated with increased delay discounting [1]. They accurately note that habitual short sleep duration may result from a tendency to choose instant gains over long-term benefits, in addition to or as an alternative to short sleep leading to increased delay discounting. We greatly appreciate their thoughtful elaborations on the mechanistic and clinical implications that result from a greater understanding of the directional association between sleep and impulsivity/self-control.
