Abstract summary 

The study aimed to find out the association between sleep duration and psychological resilience in a population-based survey.A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2022, employing a cluster random sampling method to recruit community residents at Futian District in Shenzhen, China. A total of 2,445 participants aged 18 years and over were included in the study. The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) was utilized to measure psychological resilience, and sleep duration was classified according to the American Heart Association's sleep duration categories. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between psychological resilience and sleep duration after adjusting for gender, age, smoking status, physical exercise frequency, body mass index (BMI), and education level.The participants displayed moderate levels of psychological resilience, with a mean resilience score of 3.46 (standard deviation [SD] = 0.62) and a mean sleep duration of 7.04 h (SD = 1.10). After adjusting for covariates, longer sleep duration was associated with higher psychological resilience (β = 0.047, < 0.05), indicating that participants with a long sleep duration had higher resilience scores than those with a short sleep duration.Longer sleep duration is positively associated with higher psychological resilience in community residents. These findings suggest that improving sleep duration may be a promising approach to enhancing psychological resilience, preventing psychological problems, and promoting overall physical and mental health development.
