The Incidence of Sleep Problems among Type a and Type B College Students: Changes over a Ten-Year Period (1982–1992)

Abstract

Ten years ago we reported that Type A scoring students were twice as likely as their Type B peers to report sleep problems. In an exact 1992 replication of that study, no Type A-B differences in the frequency of self-reported sleep problems were observed; however, the over-all incidence of sleep problems among the 753 college students had increased substantially.
