Nocturnal heart rate variability moderates the association between sleep–wake regularity and mood in young adults

[摘要] Study ObjectivesSleep–wake regularity (SWR) is often disrupted in college students and mood disorders are rife at this age. Disrupted SWR can cause repetitive and long-term misalignment between environmental and behavioral cycles and the circadian system which may then have psychological and physical health consequences. We tested whether SWR was independently associated with mood and autonomic function in a healthy adult cohort.
