Comparison between Sleep Quality and Life Satisfaction in Middle Adulthood

Abstract

The aim of this review paper is to assess the relationship between life satisfaction and sleep quality in individuals during their middle adulthood. It aims to highlight the overall well-being of individuals in their middle adulthood. Two very important variables, life satisfaction and sleep quality, show how comfortable an individual is in their life and its circumstances and how well rested they are after sleeping, depicted by sleep quality. Middle adulthood is characterized by many responsibilities and worries, from ageing parents to adulting children, making it important to know their overall well-being and satisfaction with life for taking better care of their needs for a more balanced life. Most of the studies conducted on middle adults only talk about factors like physical activity, exercise, depressive or anxiety symptoms along with chronic illnesses as mediating factors in determining the relationship between life satisfaction and sleep quality with growing age from young to middle adulthood. This review puts forward the problem of very few researches on middle adults concerning their sleep quality and quality of life to statistically assess, analyze and conclude relationship between these variables. This review can give rise to a more holistic perspective on creating a better and positive environment for individuals in their middle adulthood for a smoother transition towards old age later in life.
