ABSTRACT
Introduction. Sleep is essential for maintaining health, well-being, and functionality. The personality traits of
the Five Factor Model (FFM) have proven promising as determinants of sleep quality.
Objective. To explore
the relationship between personality traits and sleep quality in a Brazilian sample by testing a predictive model
based on multiple linear regression.
Method. The study involved 447 adult participants (with an average age
of 37.7 years), who completed an online survey including the following instruments: a sociodemographic
questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4), and
the Big Five Inventory (BFI). Participants were selected through social media advertisements calling for volunteers
for a study on sleep quality.
Results. The regression model revealed that age, educational attainment,
family income, BMI, neuroticism, and psychopathological symptoms were predictors of sleep quality. The
gender, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness variables were not predictors of sleep quality in
the multivariate analysis.
Discussion and conclusion. The study emphasizes the role of neuroticism in predicting
sleep quality over other personality traits. Additionally, the results suggest that the risk of or protection
against the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms is a key mechanism linking personality traits
to sleep. These findings can therefore contribute to identifying individuals at risk for sleep disturbances and
developing health intervention strategies.
